Hi from Pearisburg, VA. It's Monday, April 13 which makes it Day #50 since beginning the approach trail (Tuesday, February 24). The "motel" we're staying at shuttled us to the library to use the internet. After our last library experience, if we were to vote, Pearisburg Library might win the "Friendliest Little Library on the Trail" award. Once our internet time is over, we're headed to the grocery store to resupply. Then, back to the motel for laundry, showers, phone calls and indoor sleeping.
Since our mom, aunt & sister dropped us off last Thursday, we've hiked 87.6 miles. We've been able to have more consistent high mileage days as the elevation climbs in Virginia have not been as steep and frequent as down south. Plus, we now have our hiking legs. Unfortunately, we are still experiencing aches and pains. We were told these will not be going away, and our recovery once we got off the trail will be at least a month.
Below is a breakdown of our mileage the past week:
-Thursday (1/2 day after the family visit): 13.9 miles
-Friday: 19.1 miles
-Saturday: 23.8 miles
-Sunday: 22.6 miles
-Monday (nero-aka low mileage-day heading into Pearisburg): 8.2 miles
Hopefully, the April shower's we're hiking through will bring us lots of May flowers. Until our next post...Happy Trails.
