The heat is killing me. And, my cold is still with me. So, I ended
up getting up late (I didn't even have the option to decide to get up
earlier, I just slept through). I was hiking for a bit, but between
the heat and my cold, I wasn't having any fun. And, I was crawling.
I had stopped for a long break at the first shelter, forced myself to
drink large amounts of water, and read a bit. Then, I decided to just
make it another short day rather than pushing on without enjoying it.
Hopefully things improve tomorrow.

For a while I was alone at the shelter. But then a few SOBO section
hikers showed up and brought beer. The shelter is right next to a
road, so we found a pizza place that would deliver and ordered
pizzas. A few other thruhikers and section hikers showed up. Hanging
around was a good time.

I really hope I am feeling better tomorrow. I need to start doing
miles again.
