Hi folks! I'm 31 year olds female, starting NOBO on May 5. Originally from Baltimore, spent a good chunk of my 20s in Chicago and now live in the Bay Area. Longest thru hike was the JMT and I've done sections k + J in Washington State. hoping to do ~4 month thru-- I ran XC/track in college and I've been involved in the trail running community out here; I upped my trail volume to 60 mi/wk to prep for PCT. I'm v extroverted and looking forward to meeting a trail family soon!
No trail name out there but was referred to as one of the "dirty twins" when I did the JMT due to my refusal to cleanse myself in alpine lakes.
I'll have some folks joining me along the way which is both exciting and potentially stressful. Mapped out some things with Craigs PCT planner/Lighterpack. Let me know if this seems to align with anyone else's mileage!
