I've got plenty of time to work on things before the walk starts. Among the top priorities is to lose enough weight to make walking in October a lot easier. Here's hoping I don't end up with any more diabetic foot ulcers. This last one (which was also my first one) was more than enough for a lifetime.
I'm also waiting on a pair of shoes I ordered (Amazon currently says the shoes are running late if you'll pardon the inadvertent pun), and I need to re-waterproof a windbreaker I own. I may also have to buy a new belt, but then again, I may not because my current belt seems to be holding up fine.
I have to finalize my itinerary, but that should be fairly easy since I plan to re-walk my 2019 route, which involved a couple days of camping, thus necessitating a backpack. On that score, I have an awesome Gregory Baltoro 85, full of easy-access pockets and other nifty features, and I can keep the pack weight under 10 kilograms if I pack smart.
Again on the health and fitness front, I need to get my cardio up to speed, so another health goal is to be able to walk up my building's staircase, from B1 to 26, at least twice before I actually start the trans-Korea trek.
I should probably also do a few practice walks with the fully loaded backpack on my back. It's summer right now, and with the exception of the typhoon-related weather this week, we've been in the middle of a heat wave. Practice walks can wait until September.
What else... what else... there's always something...
