Nikki Kimble and her battle with depression
Why getting outside is good for you
Doing something that scares you

My journey in June!
The Appalachian Trail!!
Why 100 days…
22 miles per day…
Trying to be relaxed and wanting to have fun
Waiting for my trail legs to kick in
Time on feet
No flaffing in camp
Eating throughout the day and having a consistent pace
Sleep
Taking time off
Celebrating my birthday
I would feel like a failure if I didn’t do it in 100 days
Not being able to plan for everything
Trying to be positive and flexible
Heading North
Can’t wait to get to the heat
My biggest fears… being cold and wet
Being use to the heat from training in Australia to running the MDS
Podcast episodes will be preloaded while I’m away on my hike
Vlogging from the trail - follow along on my Youtube channel
Doing batch interviews to get everything ready before my trip
Mentally getting myself ready before I go
