Hello everyone.... I'm in cloud 9..I completed entire Katy trail last
weekend... hurray! Of course, this is not a very big accomplishment
for people over here.. but is a big one for me due to my history.. 2
years back I could hardly walk 3 miles ... Poor stamina, unfit body...
but the beauty of Katy Trail inspired me.. So this year I set a goal
to complete the entire Katy in parts even though I didn't have company
or training. initially even I thought it is unrealistic, even my
friends laughed at me, but here I'm :) Thanks a million to my fiance
to kept motivating me.. I love you dear!

Way to go! Now that the Katy has gotten in your blood, I'm sure you'll be back for LOTS more. Hoping for a mild winter (although most likely not), so we won't have to stay away from the Katy for too long! Congrats!

Jiji,
I have a similar story as yours and did my end-to-end a couple years back. I won't bore you with all the details, but I just wanted to say Congrats!
