Day Two 5-29-12
My second day didn't go as planned, but that's alright. I'm sure that's gonna happen more often than not on this trip. Decent hotel room with shitty neighbor...

Thank ya sis!
DeleteI don't know You or anything beyond what You posted ,but if I look at Your walk, it seems to me a perfect metaphor for life...Every day we put on our shoes and walk. Rough weather and roads ,unfriendly people put a damper on things yet there are all the little things to be grateful for. The sooner we learn to take care of our equipment (mind,body,spirit) the better prepared we are. I am looking forward to all the lessons to be learned from this, not just for You,but all of us partaking in Your journey as observers and cheerleaders! Walk on :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Anita! Appreciate the support and thanks for following along. Hope ya have fun!
DeleteJim! I am so proud of you. Woopty freakin' doo, you left out at 8:45!?! I was still in bed telling Deke to shut the hell up at 8:45 this morning. You rock!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA yeah that's not my usual style, getting up that early.
DeleteI don't think 8 miles is bad for day 2. Give it a few more days and 8 miles will seem like a stroll in the park. You just gotta beat your feet up a little more - show 'em who's boss. They'll give in eventually.
ReplyDeleteGo Jim!
I hope they give in! It'll come together. When I first started training I could barely walk a mile. But I kept at it and eventually built up my endurance and mileage.
DeleteIsn't it fun to encounter nice strangers? I love that. For every asshole there ends up being two or three surprisingly kind souls. Don't beat yourself up about your progress - the road will beat you up enough as it is. Your trip, so whatever pace happens is right. Stay warm and enjoy the new sights and folks! I am a little jealous.
ReplyDelete"the road will beat you up enough as it is." I like that! And yes, it is fun meeting new people like that. I hope it happens a lot!
DeleteJim,
ReplyDeletebefore you buy a new sleeping bag, what is your temp rating on yours? You may be able to simmply purchase a sleeping bag liner which is far cheaper, helps keep the bag clean and is easy to watch, they have them that add anywhere from 5-35 degrees i think. Also if you can, avoid setting up camp by water, such as rivers and lakes, for whatever reasons those 2 places can be upwards of 10 degrees cooler than away from them.
michael grosse ---i have a 20 degree synthetic bag you can have...i can drive up 395 and drop it off or send it to you...
Michael that's a really awesome suggestion, thanks! My bag is 55 degrees, and I have a few options to look into. I'm holed up for a few days right now, though, as I try to let my foot heal from an injury on my first day. I'll be updating the blog soon with more details. If you do want to head up and meet me somewhere, that would be really cool, and you're more than welcome to join me for a day or two if you wish. Thanks for checking in!
