August 20th, 2024 4AM time 1:34 minnutes Miles: 2.78 Getting to know this particular skunk who inhabits a bit of field across from the local hospital. I am still wary but clearly it is used to people since it looks as i walk by but doesnt freeze. Eventually it will wander away but still. It seemed to be about 4 to 5am when i see skunks for some reason
august 23 small backpack with water
35 minutews of weight lifiting August 24 Mi 2.38 miles and 0.85 miles Did my first hike in a long time on a real trail Got the Pinnicale Peak. Then promptly got loss thinking the trail looped around. It was all downhill and it just seemed to be longer than the first half until i reazlied with a jolt i had no idea where I was so i turned around and hiked straight up faster than i wanted. and then took the exactly path back to the car.
Later I went to Doughtton park. It was the first time i went fishing in the mountains and i had no clue that was 2016 (8 years ago) That time there was a severe drought and the creek literally had no water so I figured i needed to head up to find the water and the fish. I didn know water flows downhill apparenltlly. I almost made it ot the campsite but i was alrady tired from the first hike to pinaacle and so turned thinking I am going to come back and do this trail. and maybe camp at that spot i stumbled onto year ago.

August 28 30lb rucksuck time 1:38 minuts miles 3 from the house. saw the same skunk. we nodded at each other If I want to do at least ten miles a day on the AT, I will need to doing ten miles a week. so that means at least three 3‑miles hikes with my 30lb pack which just seems impossible to me August 29th left knee again really sore. was told that maybe i need to decrease the weight. i was thining I was ready to increase to 45 lbs, but clear not yet. Need to go slower. Slow the traning pace. interesting I’ve lost about 8lbs. My dream is go hyperlite but clearly the first thing to shed pounds off is myself
