Voice Post: 2014 PMC Day 1: Dighton

[ornoth]

The following is a transcription of a phone post that originally appeared in my main journal, here.

Okay, it’s just past 10 o’clock, which is about half an hour behind schedule for me here at the Dighton lunch stop. Doing okay; it was pouring shortly after leaving Franklin, but it seems to have mostly stopped for the moment. The roads are still very wet, but it’s not actively raining, so I’m drying out a little bit. Also had food here, which is good because I wasn’t carrying any, as I said. Definitely starting to get tired; the miles are starting to add up. Started getting tired about five miles short of this rest stop. Hopefully that isn’t a trend that will continue. I usually start getting tired around the next stop or the one after. But considering I’m at mile 175, I’ve almost put in one full PMC already over the past two days, so I guess I have a right to be tired at this point. Downed some food and gonna continue on, probably take it easy into Lakeville. Fortunately, although I’m still in the pack it is starting to thin out, which is nice. That’s it for now.
