28 miles and 94 degrees.
This morning: free 6 AM wake-up call from the gentlemen mowing this park where I stayed last night.

I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
You are one tough guy! Hope things are cooler today.
How the shoes holding up?
Getting fairly close to wearing through Pair One.
They look like some Timberlands that I have-also the pants you started out with seem to be some Scout pants with the convertible shorts lol. Hope this is right so I am prepared for my hike with my boy when I am able to do it.
So, despite your concerns about the heat, it seems that higher temperatures prompt you to walk further.
When it gets really hot are you going to switch to evening / early morning walking?
When it’s that hot, I feel awful even if I’m resting, so I just keep walking. And I am trying to log as many miles as possible in the relatively cooler parts of the day.
Intelligent-that’s what I expected.
Smart, and congrats on the latest record.
I’m trying to picture what 28 miles looks like locally here…and wow…. you’re pretty impressive!
94 degrees! – are you sure you are in Wisconsin? I just thought that the Northern states would be cooler than the Southern states this time of year. Best Wishes to you Matt! I’ve got to give up trying to catch up to your current blog page for the moment. My eyes are mighty tired.
