I will start complaining now:

I started out slow and sluggish today, my left knee is sore, I ran out of energy half way through even though the wind was a non-factor, sweat stinging my eyes and too many unnecessary stops.

Just a poor day overall.

My average was acceptable I guess.

17.9

Only 6 days until I begin my trip.

Please Mr. Weather, please let the wind be at my back or nonexistent.

P-L-E-A-S-E!!

I need all of the help I can get.
