Hi everyone!
It’s been really inspiring hearing where everyone is at. I’m Nicole and I am pretty much starting from zero! I live in New Hampshire (western Whites/Upper Valley) and I just had a baby in October. I wasn’t able to keep as active as I wanted to during my pregnancy so 2021 was really a wash fitness-wise. I’m really looking forward to a structured base training and working my way back up.
I’ve always been drawn to the outdoors but find that I need a lot of recovery from my job/career in biopharm. Previously I have dabbled in running (although I tend to rely on flat rail trails) and I’ve hiked a good amount in the Whites. I trekked the TMB in 2017 and can’t wait to go back with baby in tow one day.
I would love to meet up and train in New England with anyone that would want to hike easy! My goal for the end of winter 2022 is to hike Moosilauke. My goal for the end of summer 2022 is a single-day Presi Traverse hike, or at least a nice strong Franconia ridge hike. Past years I’ve definitely been fit enough but just didn’t feel confident enough. And then my goal for the end of 2022 in general is to “feel like a trail runner” – I’ve never actually done a real trail run where I felt strong afterwards. I’m not talking a 4000 footer or something, just running around on a trail in the base. Life goal is to participate in the PTL!
Here is my email if anyone would like to connect:

I’d also love to connect on Strava with anyone and be motivated by your training
