Sat 6 Jun

Oh, I feel wonderful! I slept 11.25 hours last night for the first time in who knows how long! Bound to be good for recovering from my cold.

The clouds are rolling in, so it looks like the weather forecast may be unfortunately accurate for Walk Wisconsin, but at least Dad and I will be better geared out to accommodate the weather than most folks. I'm actually looking forward to seeing if our consistent hill training will serve us in good stead for 13.2 miles on the Green Circle.

Walk Wisconsin conquered, soggy though it was. Felt mighty good to slide into the hot tub to get warm again. My feet appear to have come through it unscathed this year - good boots and socks, hooray! Dad weathered it well also. He's soaking in the hot tub now. I feel good about the prospect of the hike now, knowing we handled today well. Granted the hike will be on significantly different terrain with less oxygen, but we'll also take our time much moreso, with longer breaks. I never had my backpack off my back today. I would slip it off to rest my shoulders on breaks on the hikes.
