I found a website called trailjournals.com. You can post journal entries from your backpacking trip. Its basically a collection of blogs. As soon as I learn how to navigate it, I'll find someone who has done 20 miles of trail a day.
Since I suck balls at math, I decided to try an internet version of math flash cards. I basically did that for an hour today. I started out small with simple addition and worked my way up to more complicated multiplication. I try to do it as fast as possible. It sounds odd, but I am so bad at math, these flash cards are probably going to help. The goal is to do them a few times a week and build on the basic math skills then maybe MAYBE if I care in another month I'll try harder stuff.
I hope my shin splints are gone cause I want to run tomorrow. My legs were so sore this whole weekend. I drank lots of water, stretched 4 or 5 times a day and ate 4 bananas. That seemed to help.
A list of the books I have read since January:
Advanced Backpacking by Karen Berger
Daily Life in Ancient Rome by Florence Dupont
Surprised by Hope by N.T. Wright
GloboChrist by Carl Raschke
Home by Marylinne Robinson
Philosophy: The Classics by Nigel Warburton
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
I think I'm missing a book but I can't recall what it is. I've got 250 pages left in The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. My mom got me another book recently: The Consequence of Ideas by R.C. Sproul. Sproul is, in case you didn't know, a Calvinist and this is the second book from this author my mom has bought me. I think she is trying to convert me.
