A requirement for living in California is belonging to a gym. However, you are not required to actually go to the gym, just the membership is a must. This particular gym offers boxing classes and I have been going consistently for about a month or so. I didn’t want to mention it before just in case I got popped in the face and cried. A definite possibility and so not something I would want to publish for anyone to see. Enough people witness me doing stupid stuff already I don’t need to add to it. One thing I have learned about myself in this class is my inability to hit someone. If I don’t hate you and you didn’t steal my piece of cake, why would I hit you? I think some cake stealing visualization is needed.

Between a Rock and a White Blaze: Searching for Significance on the Appalachian Trail
Julie Urbanski
Genre: Sports & Outdoors | Travel
FREE for a limited time
Four years removed from her first long-distance hike on the Pacific Crest Trail, Julie, aka Stopwatch, is ready to embark on another thru-hike, this time following the white blazes of the Appalachian Trail, a 2181 mile continuous footpath from Georgia to Maine. She is accompanied by her husband, Matt, aka Optimist, for whom it is his second thru-hike of the AT. They are both burnt out from stressful jobs and are both hopeful that the simplicity of the trail life will recharge their batteries, especially since they have experience on their side.
For Julie, it is a chance to improve the person that she came to be and came to dislike, and for Matt, it is a chance to relive old memories while living the trail life he’d come to love. While they could never predict all that would unfold over the months ahead, with volatility in the weather and in their moods, they expect the trail to change the way they see themselves and the world around them. They are also not alone on the trail. Each day they are presented with new perspectives from the varied cast of trail characters hiking alongside them, a few of which have a lasting impression on their hike.
This book is for those that appreciate challenges that lead us down the path of self-honesty, who are willing to join Matt and Julie as they make their way through rainy weather and rocky terrain, as expectations meet reality, as they meet new people along the way, and as they search for meaning in it all, all the while following the white blazes of the Appalachian Trail.
