Prep # 11 -- Mixed Bag

Feelings:

Someone recently asked how I was feeling about this upcoming hike. After purchasing my ticket to San Diego for April 14 and now with plans to step foot on the trail 17 /18th, I'm feeling a little unsettled. With the Hiking For Recovery work, I've made more effort than ever to tell people about my plans. As a result I've built up an image of certain completion (or at least a projection of mine that I put onto others). Now I'm nervous. I have gone through transitions before and recognize my feelings uncertainty accompanies a new big thing. Therefore, I don't wrestle with theses feelings. Also I'm hopeful that my 'projection' of completion, will aid me in the guise of support when I do want to quite after a week(s) of loneliness or wet feet.
