Gulp!

Did you ever admire someone in their commitment to challenging themselves and want to be like them but didn't think you could but now that you've become more fit you get optimistically carried away in a conversation that snowballs and you commit to doing that admirable something with them that is really going to take you out of your comfort zone but get you closer to being more like they are and you really wonder if you're now in over your head but are glad that it is at least one way to spend quality time with her?

Where do I get good hiking boots and a day pack?
