Start: VT 11 & 30 (Manchester Center)
End: Peru Peak Shelter
Miles: 9.7 today, 1640.7 total
Again, slow getting out of town. But really, it's no big deal. The plan I made to Hanover puts me almost exactly where I was yesterday in terms of average miles per day. And that's with a zero included. Anyway, I'm not too worried about the schedule, bottom line. My heels seemed to do ok, though it was like a half day today. However, I think I've pulled a muscle or something on the front, bottom of my left shin. This didn't actually occur today, it happened a few days ago. It's painful enough to slow down my pace quite a bit. I'll have to see how tomorrow goes... I might want to avoid rushing to catch up to my plan if it means getting the leg to heal faster. Anyway, time will tell.
It's great being caught-up with my journal entries. It's like I have to find something else to worry about... like reducing pack weight. Thought about that a lot today. The Kelty Flight pack is like $600, but it weighs less than 2 pounds apparently. Man, I'd really like to try going ultra light, but it would require some big purchases along with possibly big changes in my hiking/camping style.
Oh, hey, I'm in my brand-spankin' new sleeping bag right now! I can tell already that it's going to be REALLY warm. Oh boy! Mom made this liner for it out of a sheet for easier washing. I'm excited about going to bed. Nighty-night.
