That Day I Overslept

Date : 1/6/24 — Day 5

Location : Big Pine Key

Starting Point : MM 32.1

Weather :

Yesterday was a good day.  I completed 12 miles — give or take a tenth, without much difficulty.  That’s a personal best.

After Thursday’s back pain difficulties, I secured a video appointment with a local (?) doctor … who submitted a few prescriptions to treat the symptoms.  It’s not anything GOOD, so no need to track me down for my prescription strength Tylenol.

Last night I lodged at the Big Pine Key Motel.  Anna worked front desk last night and checked me in.  After a long day trekking, it was refreshing to see you cheerful face.

After pounding out 12 miles, I slept well last night.  When I awoke and check the time, it was already 1215 in the afternoon!

… um, thank goodness I asked for a 1300 check out time.
