So, month 2 was definitely more difficult - both physically and emotionally. It's easy to get homesick and lonely out on the trail, especially when dealing with an injury. There were definitely times I considered heading home, but I'm happy that I pushed through the hardships. Financially... I apparently still have no self-control.

Well, if I want to make it to Katahdin by October 15th (which is supposedly the last day you're allowed to summit), I definitely need to up the miles. I'm hoping I won't have any unexpected/aggravated injuries to slow me down next month!
Financially, I like to tell myself I'm now playing this game called "Let's try to spend the least amount of money possible". Wish me luck!
