You are listening to the ultimate midlife crisis,

joins Stephen his guests every week as he staggers from Georgia to Maine.

Hi, and thanks for coming back again to Mighty Blue on the Airpanction Trail, the ultimate

middle-life crisis. I'm really enjoying doing this show right now and it's sometimes

logistically difficult, as I've said before. But I think we're starting, I'm starting to feel

that I'm so into this hike now

that hopefully I'm transmitting my kind of joy at what's going on.

There's a time that comes in your hike.

It happened to me before.

I can't recall exactly when it was,

but it happened to me before in 2014

where you suddenly think to yourself,

man, I'm going well, I can do this.

And that's hit me this last few days.

Because we are absolutely flying at the moment and we've hiked.

It's hard for me to believe this.

I've checked it twice, three times we've had already to see if I'm right.

In the last eight days, Trigger and I have hiked 160 miles,

which is averaging, as you can guess, 20 miles a day. I never ever did anything like that in 2014,

but I'm just moving right now. In fact, it was when we had a zero day when Trigger's wife came to visit and just

hanging out in a, I can't even remember where it was now, Wainborough, Pennsylvania, I think

it was.
