Day 26

So I was supposed to get a ride and go back to where I got picked up yesterday and finish up to this point. I had every intention of doing that today. The hotel that I’m at has a computer and I haven’t been able to use a desktop since I was back home in Atlanta. I got on it and stayed there for 5 hours haha!

I got a TON of work done that I needed to catch up on. I went through all of the comments on my blog and I was in tears. I had no idea that so many people were reading and were enjoying it. I can’t read the comments from my phone so I didn’t know about all of the positive feedback that I’d been getting. I think I’m going to get a small laptop so that I can keep up with the blog more. I was in tears from all of the nice things that you all had to say about me.

As I was going through it was taking me back to all that I’ve gone through already. It hasn’t even been 4 weeks yet but it feels like I’ve gone through so much. I can’t wait to see what I can make happen from all of this by the time I finish.

A dear friend and my first trail angel contacted me today and wanted to arrange for me to have a massage while I am in a city. It was either get a massage, or go walk 8 miles in the rain.. yeah.. even I’M not that crazy!

Valerie lived and worked close and came to pick me up at the hotel. Yes, it was awkward being picked up at a hotel to go get a massage lol. She was extremely kind and I was comfortable as soon as we met. The massage was amazing and I needed it so bad! For the last few days I’ve been rolling around on a can of ravioli trying to loosen my knots up haha.

Not only was the massage incredible but the conversation was as well. I got to meet her husband and we went out to dinner sushi!  YUM!

I feel great and don’t mind not making up those 8 miles. I got so much work done today that I still feel accomplished. Tomorrow is 18 miles and I have to hurry to beat the snow storm that’s coming.

I enjoyed my day so much. Now I’m playing with Domino and hopefully we’ll both sleep well. Good night from Bridgeport, WV..
