AT Day 41: Zero Day in Marion VA

Daily Miles: 0, Total Miles: 534.2

I at least picked a cool, windy and now drizzly day for a zero. Having said that, back on the trail tomorrow with a high of 47, low of 37 and probably some rain.

Not much on this end of Marion so limited my steps to Ingles grocery store and a McDonalds for lunch. I headed back to Mi Puerto for a carne asada dinner.

I caught up with family, downloaded a new book, packed up my resupply and looked ahead at the next leg to Pearisburg VA.

Overall I feel pretty good, not a single blister on this hike. The ankles, knock on wood, are holding up except for a few rolls. My neck bothers me at the end of the day due to a loss of cartilage in an upper vertebrae. The shock absorber is about gone. Ibuprofen and keeping my pack weight down helps.
