ergh

Update: Definite improvement overnight but still very painful. I think I'm going to stay one more day in the hotel to let it heal; I could probably push on as it is now, but it would keep my pace way down and I might just make it worse for the sake of only a few miles. It's probably a spur or one of those other weird mineral things that come with heavy exertion, dehydration, etc.

Woke up this morning with a crippling pain in my foot. Thought I might be able to walk/stretch it out, like the pains I get every morning, but no. If not improved by tomorrow morning I'll have to get it looked at and/or extend my stay here, as walking on with it as it is now is out of the question.

I hope it's not something that will require lengthy recovery, as I can't really afford to just live in a hotel for an extended period.

In key largo there are some cheaper campgrounds. I hope your alright and you get back on the road soon. It's exciting to see you slowly moving up North America. Take it easy.

Thanks man; I was wondering about where I'd stay up there. Where are you?

Sitting in a starbucks! The luxury. Julie isn't so lucky she is outside. But she is in the shade at least. I just cleared Port Charlotte. Now Im heading to a long rural section. My days are numbered. I feel the ending is near. But realistically I've got to bike 300 miles at least.

Enjoy it while it lasts!

They're saying rain tomorrow and the day after.
