Day 20: the miles

Miles: 18
Water:5l?
Dogs and nerds:0

Today we didn't see anything awesome, we didn't meet anyone cool. Today we just turned time into miles. About ten and a half hours (including breaks) become 18 miles. So a record day for us.

Conditions were pretty optimal, mostly flat, no huge just one big up and down early. Also it turns out that it was 18 miles to the next shelter with a privy, and XL is highly motivated to not have to poop in the woods.

I feel fine cardio wise, but my feet are aching right now. We will need more food soon, and the optimal thing is to pull 14 tomorrow, then a short day Saturday with a resupply.

I'm pretty sure we are not going to want to do a 14 tomorrow, so we will play it by ear. Maybe our bodies will surprise us.
