I like to walk and walk and walk...

Ever since I was little, I've always loved getting around on foot. I probably started by crawling at some point, and eventually learned to walk.

There was a lot of running—my first friend at school and I even started doing "training sessions" as early as first grade.

I've spent many years running and jogging, but I've become increasingly fond of simply walking. For long stretches, and over long distances.

Still, I've never tried those multi-day or even multi-week hikes that some people do.

Until now...
