I\u2019m always so physically and emotionally drained come September 1 after putting some serious miles on the trail in August and spending two months trying to convince you all why you should make a donation to my Hike-a-thon benefiting the <a href=\"http:\/\/wta.org\">Washington Trails Association<\/a>. Since 2012 I have participated in Washington Trails Association\u2019s annual Hike-a-thon as a way to have a little fun and help give back to the trails that have enhanced my life and contribute to my career. And trails have not only helped me with my livelihood as a guidebook author and outdoors writer, but as a refuge from the previous pandemic\u2019s fallout, political rancor, inflation, despair, and my own personal challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Since being diagnosed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/polymyalgia-rheumatica\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20376539\">PMR<\/a> in 2020 during a time when I was questioning if my best days were over\u2014I have been managing my condition (through medication, diet, and intense physical activity) as best I can and trying to do as much as I can realizing that tomorrow may bring an end. I continue to push myself and set new goals. And while this was not my best hike-a-thon in terms of mileage, I was able to put some incredibly intense days on the trail as part of my training for my upcoming challenge. In June I committed to run my first 100K (62 miles) race as a way to celebrate turning 62. So my 62 for 62 challenge has been my recent focus and hike-a-thon fit in nicely. I have run four challenging 50Ks in the previous 2 months and hope to do one more before my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cuyamaca100k.com\/\">big race day<\/a> on October 7<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>And you my wonderful friends and readers once again came through and opened up your wallets and made generous donations. Donations came in a little slower this year and I really had to work it the last week in which nearly $3000 came in helping me once again make my $10,000 fundraising goal. This marks three years in a row that we have raised more than $10,000 for our trails! Thank you! You all rock!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2582\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/craigromano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230815_171119-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2582\" class=\"wp-image-2582 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/craigromano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230815_171119-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/craigromano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230815_171119-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/craigromano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230815_171119-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/craigromano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230815_171119-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/craigromano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230815_171119-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/craigromano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230815_171119-2048x1153.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2582\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Me and Miles on the Windham (NH) Rail Trail, a gem in the town I grew up<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This year\u2019s hike-a-thon was a little different for me too in which I spent half my time on the trail not in Washington! I\u2019ve been working on a book in British Columbia this year so Miles (the marmot mascot) and I put some serious kilometers in there as well as back in my home state of New Hampshire. And my three biggest trail highlights of the month cover all three of my favorite places to hike (only California is missing from this list\u2014but that is where I am doing my 100K next month!). My highlights include four days of hikes in BC\u2019s Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks, the incredibly challenging Pemi Loop in NH\u2019s White Mountains in one day, and Image Lake and Miners Ridge in the heart of the Glacier Peak Wilderness in one day. Those were my highlight days. But every day was grand whether I was hitting the trail near my home in Skagit County or near my home where I grew up in southern New Hampshire. Time on the trail is always time well spent!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2583\" style=\"width: 241px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/craigromano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230828_090319-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2583\" class=\"wp-image-2583 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/craigromano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230828_090319-231x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/craigromano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230828_090319-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/craigromano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230828_090319-788x1024.jpg 788w, https:\/\/craigromano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230828_090319-768x998.jpg 768w, https:\/\/craigromano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230828_090319-1183x1536.jpg 1183w, https:\/\/craigromano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230828_090319-1577x2048.jpg 1577w, https:\/\/craigromano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230828_090319-scaled.jpg 1971w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2583\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Miles packing the bear spray for our hikes in grizzly county in BC&#8217;s Columbia Mountains<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And this whole process has once again recharged me and has given me reasons to stay hopeful while the outside world remains gloomy.
