I'm trying to get through the mental stuff just to get out there again.
Went trough the gear closet yesterday and reorganized it. Found some 10# weights and a few other bits.
Actually if you are in a gym especially one that is using the most up to date cardio machines they have some GREAT hill climber machines that really simulate hiking. Usually 4-6 weeks before I go on a hike (since Long Island is flat) I go to town on that bad boy for 20 minutes before I hit the weights. Made a big difference the last time I went hiking.
