Hey All, 

Several topics today.

First--  I sparained my knee during the Honolulu
Marathon on Dec 11.  Has anyone had any experience
with a physical therapist in regards to strengthening
and re-injury prevention.  It is feeling mostly better
already, but I'd like to incorporate some
stretches/pt/strength training/whatever into my
'workouts' so as to make a %110 recovery and prevent
future injury.  

Second--  Anyone who has thru or sectioned the trail
with a canister stove: Where were you able (and not
able) to find fuel?  Also: how much did you use the
stove (1,2,3 times a day?), and at that rate, how long
did it take you to go through a canister?  (I've been
trying to gauge a lot of this, but I live at sea level
so I know my results will be off.)

Third--  Custom orthotics: have you tried em?  was it
worth it?  I don't have any real foot problems, but
during a 2600 mi hike prevention sounds like a good
idea to me.

Fourth--  unobvious gear needs.  I am only several
items away from having a 'completed' gear list.  But
am I forgeting anything??  What are some of those
small, easy to overlook items that all of you carry?

Sixth--  Who likes pecan pie?  I think its great.  HA
got ya!

Thanks--------Junaid #41PCT2006
