I’m writing this in a real bed. After a shower and a few hot meals. It feels nice not to worry about the basics and to have running water.

8 hours of sleep. This was the first night I didn’t wake up multiple times. And I felt fresh. It’s crazy how your body can go from being sore to normal after a good nights sleep.

I’m laying in the middle of the Arizona desert. My body hurts. I’m exhausted. I hiked 30 miles today. What the heck was I thinking?

5:00 came early. I didn’t sleep well but rolled out of my sleeping bag and got ready. It had to be a big day.

Town day! I huddled in my sleeping bag at 5:15 not wanting to move. It had only been 2 days, but the thought of real food got me going real quick.

I met more cows than water on day 2. My body wanted to crash on night one. But I had a hard time falling sleep.

I’m wiped. My watch shows 7:30 pm. Today was wild. I planned to do 13.2 miles and ended at 20.7 with 5x more elevation than any of my training hikes.
