In early April, I started planning a month-long backpacking trip across Washington State with my two younger sisters. I’m an avid hiker, and I love to camp, but I had never attempted anything of this magnitude before. The idea was thrilling - what an adventure! - but it also scared the hell out of me. I was desperately out of shape and had been for quite some time, so I reached out to Tony and Melissa Bianchino and the fantastic team of trainers at Out Run Your Fork and explained what I was thinking about doing.
