1st Day Back

After all these zeros, today was my first day back on the trail. I got out there around 10:30. Kind of hated being out here, missing the luxuries of home.

Anyway, I went 16 miles from winding stairs gap to cold spring shelter. On my way, I ran back into Jeremy to both of our surprises. He exclaimed and said, “Oh I thought you were long gone!”

It was great to catch up a bit. I think I’m going to stick a bit to myself the next hundred miles or two and just worry about me.

Legs feel fine. Right knee is still messed up but it felt better walking on the trail than when I was resting it.

Missing Asheville. Missing home. But, carrying on.

    Back on trail time and rhythms of nature and your own breath. Hope the ibuprofen you packed helps. GSMNP! Clingman’s Dome, highest point on the AT! Watch for blooming tulip trees and rhododendrons! You’re doing great!!
