Day 1
Today was going to be a nice stroll in the woods, as the weather forecast was calling for incredible weather for this time of year. Sunny and 68 degrees. Once I reached the trailhead, I decided to do another speed hike and knock out some mileage. I was originally going to shoot for 30+ miles today, but I only had roughly 900 calories worth of snacks with me. I knew that mileage wouldn't be possible on such little calorie intake. Not much to say... another day of higher mileage and faster pace.
