Yesterday was the test and today I came to the sudden realization that I wasn't afraid anymore. I started playing out "what if"
Scenarios and realized that, no matter what, I would figure out a way to handle it. We're still all recovering from the pain of walking over 16 miles with 20-30 pounds on our backs.
Today we walked about 9, which felt like it was almost over before it started. Pleasant, breezy and knowing we had a place to stay at the end, I could absorb the trees, water, mottled clouds and people along the way.
I feel like I'm developing a rhythm.
We are a day ahead of schedule. In Pottstown tonight which is yet another southeastern PA town that feels approachable and familiar.
Another long walk ahead tomorrow. Maybe 12 miles but I think we're ready.
