Day 150

Day 150 (pct 40): 19 miles

My feet felt so bad that every step hurt so I wanted to get to town as soon as possible. After doing a little bit of research I figured it was probably athlete’s foot even though it’s different from when I’ve had it in the past. I guess the debate whether or not hikers are athletes is answered. I formerly probably would’ve sided no but I’m not gonna argue with nature.

It was a short morning filled with a lot of pain but thankfully I got some peroxide to soak my feet in and some foot cream that will hopefully help in upcoming days. I got new socks and will be getting new shoes in a few days so hopefully I can get over this pretty quick cause it is extremely uncomfortable.

Today I also picked up some new shorts since my old pair had a hole the size of a small animal in the undercarriage area. It started on the AT but just continued to get bigger until recently it was big. More air flow was my justification for a while. The waistband was also so stretched out they didn’t stay up well anymore so this’ll be a nice change.

I also picked up a new Goassmer Gear Kumo 36L pack. I’ve never used one this small before but it’s pretty ultralight and has some nice little features that I want to try out. Pretty excited to try it out

Song of the day: so far away-avenged sevenfold
