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.

81 Degrees, wow! Great. It’s 18 in Utah right now.
Good update, glad you didn’t get stuck w/ another day’s charge.
Bri, are you SHURE the UT is the place you want to retire to? AZ sounds so much warmer! 🌞
