Second day after resting for my left knee. I didn’t have any internal knee pain, but was sore at the end of the day. I believe the pain was because of the brace I wore. Tomorrow I am not going to use the brace.
I woke up at 6:05 this morning and was on the trail by 7:05. It made me feel good to get going so fast.
It was an easy and very enjoyable trail. Last week was not enjoyable, and I was wondering if I would want to hike the entire trail. I am glad to have found out that I just needed to get back into the grove.
The mosquitoes showed up. According to the other hikers there haven’t been any yet. I didn’t think there was any mosquitoes, but the next day I had 4 different bites. I didn’t think that they would bite me. WRONG. So, I will have to start using repellent.
I met Four Eyes at the shelter. She is the Ridge Runner. She maintains the trail. She is like a ranger. Her name some a hat that she had on her hike of the AT which had eyes on it. She recommended I use a knee band that she uses. I am going to get one to try it out. Here is a picture of it.
