Today is my 5 month anniversary of starting at Springer, GA! So, I
took the day off. Actually, I intended on going on the trail. But, I
woke up and was still really tired. I haven't done many miles lately,
but I have been sleep deprived. I went and had breakfast and started
to take care of town chores when I realized that there was no way I
was getting done prior to the checkout time. So, I decided to zero.

I did manage to get my broken treking pole fixed and get new shoes :).
I am so happy to have a pair of shoes now that are actually attached
to the sole at the toes. Hopefully a new tread will help on the rock
slabs. I am trying a new type of shoe though (La Sportiva), so I'll
see how they work out.

Other than that I got my package, did laundry, got lunch, hung out at
the hostel, caught up on internet stuff, and made dinner. Although
for a zero day I did walk around town quite a bit and probably did 5-6
miles (without my pack of course).
