I hiked 13.5 miles today. First day back on trail was kinda dreary. It started out fine but after a couple miles it started raining then rained the rest of the hike. Taking five zeros at the beach with my fam and cousins was so nice and refreshing. I did a short day today to ease back into it and hopefully I’ll be back to normal tomorrow. I felt very slow and kinda crappy at the very beginning of today but then I started feeling surprisingly good. I’m hoping to do some big miles here the next week or so and get this done. I hiked past a couple lakes today and one of them had a cool little sandy beach with a lot of people there and most those people are at the shelter with me tonight. I’m looking forward to tomorrow.
