Another walk of three hours going South this time on the trail. It was below freezing with a few snowflakes in the air even as a few peepers sounded and the skunk cabbage sprouted in the swamp. I felt good on the way out and bad on the way back. I carried no water or food and found myself needing energy and electrolytes. My hands and legs are cramping now as I type.
The purpose of my walking is to learn what is necessary to walk and to keep walking, and to condition the body and mind, gradually and with patience, for pilgrimage. A month of twenty to twenty-five mile days. Today I walked nearly ten. Tomorrow I'll bring water.
