Just passed through El Paso yesterday and saw signs for Guadalupe and it brought back so many wonderful memories of our trip there last year! <br /><br />Yes, I'm excited about the AZT but also have major nerves--does that ever go away?!?! I've been on this cross country road trip for the past 6 days in a row so I haven't gotten a chance to try the foot on the trail yet but it seems fine now, and will test it tomorrow or the next day. <br /><br />Oh wow a small goodie box would be awesome in Vail.

I'm so psyched for you for your AZT trip, let me know if a goodie box would be appreciated at any of your resupply stops :).

Thanks for commenting! This is the first time I've felt anything since last September, and I'm still in panic-mode. Haven't walked much since I felt it, and it doesn't hurt now, but I fear if I do walk, that I'll discover it has re-injured.<br /><br />Will trust you that someday, I will get beyond this.Joan Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16396313531820725640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437728056755394515.post-6919342767521888412015-02-23T12:29:51.104-07:002015-02-23T12:29:51.104-07:00I had a stress fracture of my left foot several ye...I had a stress fracture of my left foot several years ago, and for the year following the injury, from time to time, I would get pain in that same spot. Every time, I would panic, and think that it wasn't healed; but then a day or two later, the pain would be completely gone. I think stress fractures are just odd in that way, and it takes a long time before you 100% forget about it.Wilder-Nesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131375497855977523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437728056755394515.post-17375062990953184652015-02-22T17:17:33.211-07:002015-02-22T17:17:33.211-07:00Oh no, so your not all healed yet either?

Somehow, it WILL work out and we will get back out there eventually- hopefully sooner rather than later, but eventually for sure! :)Joan Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16396313531820725640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437728056755394515.post-63422257594106322242015-02-22T17:09:33.977-07:002015-02-22T17:09:33.977-07:00I live in this hoodie- it's a Melanzana micro ...I live in this hoodie- it's a Melanzana micro grid fleece- I actually have two, because I wear them so often. I bring my blue one backpacking-- it's what I wore often on the PCT, and this one is suppose to be my "in town" hoodie except that now I just wear them both in the woods.<br /><br />I'm still hoping the foot is just a little injury and nothing major. I'm staying off it and trying not to get too upset.

Hopefully, all will be well in the morning :-)<br /><br />As for the water on the AZT, Hikerbox has recently done an analysis here:<br /><br />http://www.theuncalculatedlife.blogspot.ca/<br /><br />Hope you find it helpful!<br /><br />Canada GooseJohn Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14380389823286228917noreply@blogger.com
