Day 8 11 am

My shoes squeak. They sound like the minions from despicable me.

Cicadas are louder than most of the trucks that pass by me. 

I'm thankful for the dogs that chase me because they give me adrenaline boosts.

I like to call my current eating habit the McWendy's diet. 

Its day 8. Week number two has begun.  I'm sorta into a routine now. There's always stuff that throws me off the routine, but I do have an ideal schedule in my mind.

Since my last entry....

I did end of stealth camping in Santee SC. I chose a spot between a wooded area and a cornfield. It was a good spot I think, nobody found me. When I woke up I planned to bike 78 miles to my warmshowers host, Donna. My first obstacle was an under construction bridge that added about 15 miles to my trip. Donna later told me they had had bad flooding that damaged a lot of their roads and bridges. Later in the day another closed road added 10 more miles to my trip - so I realized I would be doing my first century (100 mi day). 

The sun had gone down by the time I reached Donna's house but she was wide awake and very welcoming. I was more tired than I had been the entire trip, but in the morning after a great sleep and an awesome dinner + breakfast from Donna I was feeling great.
 My legs on the other hand were not in their best shape. I decided to go to the library and finish up non-biking tasks. I'm going to wait until it cools down a bit today before biking about 60 miles this afternoon.
