I need to better concentrate on my classwork right now and I want to bring my 3. from last semester back up to my standards of a 3.5 or better. I really want to earn a 4. this semester to vindicate last semester. Even though 6 of the last 7 weeks of school included my parent's deaths from cancer, in a semester filled with major distractions, I walked on and completed that segment of the trail. I would like to think that a "road-walk" will not/could not be as brutal while on the PCT, that I'll find out about soon enough.
I spoke with Brooks representative Jordan this morning about my pair of Brooks Cascadias being a tough break-in just above my big toes. My left foot has resolved itself, however, the right shoe is still causing some break-in ouch. Jordan told me that if it didn't resolve then to call back soon. I also decided that I will probably carry a second pair of shoes since my feet will be/are my most precious commodity. The weight will be about 12oz for my size 13, however the weight will be a savings if my feet are happy. When I waited tables changing my shoes mid-day made me feel much, much better. Hopefully same difference on trail and worth the weight. Naivety I know already, however, still a good plan hopefully. Jordan is very professional. Thank you Jordan and Brooks. Too cool speaking with Jordan since he was on "String Bean's" support team.
I will catch-up with you all on Sundays for now. Peace. It's all good. Pass it on. Hans
P.S. How can I make this blog a better read. As with training for the trail, I am also training in making this blog a good read. Thank you. Me.
