Why am I hiking the Appalachian Trail

...is a question I ask myself every day. Sometimes I have an answer that can push me into the next day, but most days I've been propelled forward by J-man. Finding motivation wasn't a problem to get myself out here, but keeping it is a different story. Actually, I guess it's the same story. That's partly why I haven't adopted a trail name, because I want this experience to be a continuation of my life, not a separate occurrence that I might look back on with either disdain or envy. 

So far what I can say has been my personal motivation is that I want to see what I'm made of, if I can actually do this. So far I tell myself I'm disappointed in my repose, but I'm still out here hiking, and I haven't missed a single step of the trail
