(start 9:15 finish 6:15 at Pine Swamp Brook shelter. 10 miles)
Fairly sore. Big blister staring on Inside heel of right foot. A little chafe in crotch area. I've never had that problem before. When you gain 30 lbs, I guess your legs are goin to start to rub together... Came across an awesome camp site in the middle of the woods. It had a water pump, benches, and a swing seat. It was only 3.2 miles into todays plan of a 10 mile day. I'm very tempted to stay and make it a Nero... I walked on. Only another 6.8 miles. I'm really out of shape and the constant ups and downs are getting me. My biggest problem is chaffing between my legs. The shorter mile days are changing my resupply plan. I'm gonna have to stop in Salisbury CT. If the chafing doesn't improve, I might stay in a hostel in Salisbury and take a zero... Don't get it twisted. I'm loving it out here. Every second. Every bird chirp. Every stream. Cool people, animals, plants. Freedom. No alarm clocks. I'm taking it slow so I can stay healthy and make it to Maine... Today I stopped to take a picture of this cool rock formation. I had my headphones on and I heard this weird scratching noise. I was like damn I don't remember that in this song. Then I look to my left and theres this vulture/eagle/hawk (idk) perched 5 feet from me. He was hissing at me to move. Animal instincts took over and I sped through the section. I was pissed afterwards tho. I'm thinking- why should I be the one running. I'd fuck that bird up. Damn instincts... I'm writing this while chilling in this shelter and theres two mice messing around with each other. The other night in the shelter, I had my crocs on and a damned mouse ran right into the back of my croc. About a year ago, a snake did the same thing. I guess that's nature balancing itself out.
