On Sept 24th, I finished the Pacific Crest Trail and walked into Canada. In the days and weeks that followed, it felt like that first moment after waking up after a night’s sleep, when the tangible details of a dream are still clear and sharp when recalled but within moments begin to fade and become hazy. I did a long and silly thing, and now it's over.
2650 miles (give or take a forest fire)
One hundred and fifty days
Three states
Thirty-six mail drops
Six pairs of shoes
Two backpacks
Ten pairs of socks
Three toenails gone
And what about the keto numbers?
Under 40 grams of carbs per day
10 non-keto meals out of 450
And (only) fifteen pounds lost.
I can say, without any hesitation, that you CAN thru-hike on keto. And you should. It was great. Stay tuned for why.
