Man, I slept for like nine thousand hours. Very, /very/ tired me. Perhaps eventually I’ll stop being so fat and thus stop being so tired. Anyway, one might guess this morning wasn’t such a bright and early perky sort of morning as yesterday. I did wake up around 6:30 again, but I lacked the enthusiasm to get out of bed. :) My friend Heather who hasn’t got a blog is starting the Walk to Rivendell, too, and I’m going to keep track of her miles for her. Yay Heather! Hee…
biking
9.25 mile bike ride tonight, and I’ve made an Executive Decision: this weekend, I’m going to go to a bike shop and rent another bike, maybe a recumbant, to test out. A 9 mile bike ride left me with numb fingers and a sore spot under my right shoulderblade and a sort of distressingly thick spot in my lower back (it doesn’t hurt, it just feels … thick) and I’ve decided I’m not going to spend a whole summer biking like that. I don’t know if I’ll ultimately rebuild the…

miles walked to Rivendell: 13.5 Have fallen v. far behind Jai. Am determined to catch up, preferably by thinking, ‘WALK REAL SLOW, JAI’ with such intensity that her footsteps tread more slowly until she is walking as if through treacle.

Met half-blind but friendly (is there any other kind?) golden retriever on trail today. Should try to remember camera to take pictures of mountains/inlet on daily…
funny puppy!
Oh oh oh, Chantico did a funny thing last night! She was being a pain in the ass and bouncing around and getting in everybody’s face while we were sitting around talking after dinner, so I said to her, “Where’s your ball? If you get me your ball, I’ll put peanutbutter in it.” And she looked at me for a moment, and then she turned around and picked up her /bone/, which I /also/ put peanutbutter on, and gave /it/ to me! Funny, clever puppy! hee hee hee! Also, I…
