There is a hill nestled in the Big Sur Forrest that kicked my butt last year.  Friends of ours had told us about the adventures backpacking and I couldn't wait to experience this for myself. On our last anniversary we decided to take on this mountain in Big Sur, five miles, all up hill. We were both fat and out of shape and after 21/2 miles we gave up.

My goal is to go back to that hill on June 25th, what would be our anniversary, and make it to the top of the hill. I need to concur this hill. I need to show myself that I can achieve greatness without his love. I need to feel like I'm on top of the world again. I'm down 27 pounds and hope to loose another 25 before the trip. I will make it to the top!
