Memorial Day Update

I'm taking a 0 day in Daleville ( 717 ) miles done. I need to think about my food so I don't lose any more weight. I'm planning on decresing my miles per day to around 13 and carry more food. Also starting to have shin splints ( one more reason to cut the miles ). Not really all that bad, but want to make sure they don't get any worse.

Allen's thinking of taking a 5 day break in June from the 17th to the 22nd to come back home, get some home cooked meals and try to fatten up before continuing on. Good idea. Lots of BBQ's and beers!

Day 33 Update

This email came in on 5/6.....

Have done 462 miles and in Damascus, Va. Will be leaving tomorrow for 6 days. Did my first 25 mile day on 5/3. All my miles are done and will be done, with full pack. Some folks slack pack ( only carry snacks, water, with a small pack, and have someone drop them off, or pick up after doing some miles on the AT ).
