Day 22 - Overshoot

Miles Today - 19.6
Location - Little Laurel Shelter
Date - May 4

I did not sleep in. I made it to 7 though. I showered, and downed a coffee while packing up. I was only planning on doing 11 today, so loitering was fine. I was out by 8. I'm becoming terrible at being lazy.

The sun was bright. Almost too bright. We're supposed to have a week of wonderful weather. Then again, this is on the heels of a week of supposedly terrible weather that turned out okay, so my personal prediction is stormy. I think my weather karma is due to be balanced out.

I ended up rolling into the shelter at 1. Hurm. Rose was definitely sleeping in, and would end up here. But I would feel silly stopping at 1. I had a quick lunch and headed out. Next shelter, 9ish away!

It got hotter, and I grew a little sluggish. I pushed by the temptations of a hostel with a cafe and a little convenience store. I had too much food as is. I hit the shelter at 5, tired but feeling good about almost pulling a 20.

I had left notes to Rose at both shelters, and tomorrow plan to do just 12 and a bit to let her catch up. I'm gonna try my best to sleep in and make some hot breakfast. My expectations are low.
