After receiving some super-helpful support vehicle assistance amid my snail's pace in recent weeks, I'm back on the road with cart and everything. 16 miles today will bring me to the west side of Auburn. I began before dawn, and I'll finish before noon. This works out well on these hot humid days in the Deep South. Today should be just shy of 100. I may be opting for more of these early-morning departures before I know it!

Yesterday's 16-mile walk included the George Washington Carver Nutrition Trail-- a sidewalk stroll replete with instructive signs for healthy living. (Inspiring!) After yesterday's early start, having finished before it grew too blisteringly hot, I'd planned a similar early departure for today. A surprise AM storm cell has altered those plans. It's supposed to clear up this afternoon, but I'm supposed to meet a local family for a dinner then. I'm hungry for more miles today, and I'm confident that I'll earn at least some-- I just have to figure out how/when...
