4/29




Subtle flex, but I did win the Damascus 5k this morning. I showed up in my hiking clothes and signed up, legs have been feeling great so I wanted to push it a little. 

I knew there were gift card prizes so I going to try and go for the win. Ended up running a 19:45 which got me first place as well as a $50 gift card to the distillery.

I got back and the crew decided to take another zero day in town which I didn't argue. 

One more steak and cheese for the road 

Tried out a vodka cran at the distillery with the gift card I won

Quick trip to the brewery 

$2 hot dogs at the food truck

Another day in Damascus well spent

Got some great advice, are some ramen, brushed my teeth and settled in for the night.  Cheers to the r...

Probably the best day on trail Woke up at 3:30 this morning to catch the sunrise on McAfee Knob and it did not disappoint, definitely my favorite view and sunrise of the trail Had some more miles to get into town, had a killer pulled pork salad. Last resupply on trail. Ran into some day hikers, one of them had a son who hiked the trail so she gave me an oatmeal cookie, didn't remember to take a picture till the last bite.  To top it all off, when we left town, we also hit 1/3rd of the way to Katahdin,  Had no idea that I would be able to make it this far, but definitely surprised and happy that I did Until tomorrow 🤙  See ya lovelies
