Ugh. I got up at 4AM, again. Lately I have been tired, really tired. I took a couple days off from my routine and getting back into it is difficult. My muscles are tight and I have been enormously fatigued. I’ve noticed my lips have been chapped lately and I’m suspecting dehydration. It’s hot out there, even at 6AM.
Walking the bridge can some days be like taking a bath in sweat, bleeding water. Easy fix though. In the meantime bandanas are essential. So hoping Maine will be somewhat cooler than this.
Thunderstorms were going early this morning in the distance. Wasn’t sure it was a good idea to be on the bridge. So, I waited and worked on some prep instead. (I really need to reweigh my bag.) A favorite client, Ralph, became the voice of reason to me yesterday insisting I don’t skimp out on anything gear-wise. I think I’m going to listen. I’m also going to listen to Morgan and set aside a day to walk the full 42 miles. See what that feels like. Problem, it’s a thousand degrees out mid afternoon, but I guess there’s nothing wrong with leaving early, break during the hottest three hours and get back out there, finishing in the dark. Gulp. Scary to see where I’m actually at with only a few weeks to go.
With time running out, the anxiety is building. Do I have everything? Did I do everything I need to do to secure my life back home for two months without worry? Is my plan solid? Am I freaking crazy?
Btw, I tried switching to Verizon last week and it wasn’t just that easy to switch services. My phone is locked so I’m going to have to take it to Sprint and have them unlock it, then go back to Verizon. It’s not that big of a deal, but I dislike having to do things multiple times before I see results. Wait a second…..
