It was another early morning this morning. The birds were so loud they hurt my ears.
I planned the route as if it were actually happening doing 20 miles a day. The best start date would be between Dec 1 and Jan 1. The map is for Jan 1 which I feel is optimum. Iowa, Nebraska and North Dakota are likely to be hot. That can be dealt with by walking in the cool parts of the day. The rest of the trip should be great except for the occasional bad weather.
It is overcast today. Great walking weather, but it does look like it could turn stormy later. I'll try to get my miles in this morning so I don't miss them due to an afternoon thunderstorm. If it just rains, I'll go out walking and enjoy some bonus miles.
This afternoon I realized I was feeling a little tired. I averaged over 9 miles a day in the 7 days before today. I decided it was wise to go back to a bit of a reduced training plan. It is something I've done before and it works pretty well. You can read about it on the training tab.
Time to go read a book and maybe take a nap.
