The 30-mile day

I woke up at 6:15 this morning. No alarm or anything. Normally I would've gone back to sleep and then made some grits later, but today I just felt like getting up and packing up. Skipping the grits because I was in the middle of nowhere with very little water, I just packed up and started walking. With good rest and an early start, this would be the day. --> I was on the road by 7:30. I hit the 5-mile mark by 9:15. 11 miles at noon. A perfect start for my 30-mile day. But after my break, at 12:30, it started raining. I just kept walking, though, until 1:10 (13 miles), when I reached the first sign of life in Brownsville. It was an Exxon station with a Long John Silver's. Good place to take a lunch break. --> I bought some food and rested, hoping the rain would end. It didn't end, but I began walking again anyway. --> A mile or two later, I've given up. The rain has wiped me out and my
pedometer is on the fritz, which means I may not even have been able to measure 30 miles. This sucks!
