Feeling Better

I spent the morning in bed with a hot cup of tea, then finally found my appettite this afternoon and devoured 2 Wendy's Super-Sized meals in a matter of minutes. Tomorrow will be an easy half day (6 miles) to a shelter, then 10 miles on Sunday into Dicks Creek Gap at Hiawassee, where I'll spend the night (but not take a zero day). I've already suffered through so much of the transition, giving up now would be distasteful.

Also, I didn't mention it in my last post, but Cornbread who does the pack shake-downs at Walasi Yi said that I "look like an avid hiker who knows what he's doing". I just need to take it easier on myself. I'm physically capable of a 20 mile day, but it destroys me for the next day, so even if I can keep going near the end of the day, I have to force myself to stop, thinking ahead to the challenges I will face down the road.

Thanks for the support to everybody I talked to today. I'll post again in two days from Hiawassee!
