Intro

I'll use this site to track my progress through the Appalachian Trail. For the most part, I imagine it will just be information for those who want to keep up with where I am, how things are going, etc... Any serious blogging will probably happen after I leave the trail and have some time to transcribe any writing I do.

First up, I'm picking a trail name. Honey Badger and Badger were tops on my list until I discovered that both have been pretty popular trail names over the years. So instead, I'm going with Supple Leopard. Yeah, it's ironic (as my physio, and CrossFit pals will tell you). It's also a nod to Kelly Starrett's work and book "Becoming a Supple Leopard", which I've used a lot in the past to deal with mobility.

Mostly I just think it sounds good.

I don't know if that will be of any use to anyone but who knows. Maybe I'll meet someone on the trail who blogs an embarrassing story about me. This way you can all find it.
