We didnt make our 15 miles, probably about 13. As usual, slow start leaving about 8. The first miles of hills we worried about weren't so bad... The 5th one was the killer: steep and all in the hot sun-ugh!
My feet continue to hurt to the point I had to give up early and felt so bad. The hiker boots are rubbing me raw and I think we'll ask someone to send my other pair. I was so depressed tonight and tired and sore but agreed to push on for 2 more miles and water. Glad I did. We saw a gift (our first) from trail angels of some water.
At our goal there was this cabin for hikers to use. Too cool. We still used our tent, but hey...we're the only ones here besides a doe, so took a very cold but refreshing 'shower' under the water pump.
If anyone is following our blog, please comment or at least be a follower; we (I) could really use the encouragement.
Wish you were here...
So glad you got a shower, was worried about that odor coming from the south. ;-) Lil sis I am there for you in spirit, will keep you in my thots and try to send more encouragement.
ReplyDeleteLove you and am very proud of what you are doing. You can do it, no doubt in my mind.
We love you and are thinking about you! We can get your boots to you...just tell us what to do. ***HUGS***
ReplyDeleteHey watch the sky tonite, meteor shower should be beautiful with no competition. THAT will restore you faith in your ability. ;-)

You prepared and trained for this and you can finish, don't give up. I would be glad to hike in with your other boots,carrying them of course. If that would help just let me know
