Absolutely nothing better after 5 1/2 hours studying in the library than packing dinner into my school backpack and walking down River Trails until I found a bench and sat and read. Since my school bag weighs about 22 pounds give or take a book I knew today's walk would not be as fast as I mentioned last post. After reading for 2 hours my friend Cory joined me and we averaged 20 minute miles- with me telling him to stop texting so much and to walk. Good day with a slight breeze and around 80 F.
Interesting observational note:
People looked at us differently with me wearing my Jansport book bag with water battle attached, and Cory' wearing his small backpack; than when we have walked without backpacks before.
No real eye contact to be had. Today I saw some of the first strangers that I've ever seen in life (outside of NYC, Chicago, or L.A.).
I guess we looked like we might be some of the homeless folks who hang-out around there.
Since I am training for the PCT and all that-
I am quite flattered they may have thought of me as homeless:^)
H.Y.O.H. And be nice to others.
