Changes

* The new Under Armor long sleeved heat gear top. I have a white one to reflect the heat, it is UPF 30+ and anti-odor.

* Don't think about what to eat. Just look at the food, smell it and see what appeals. I believe that the subconscious understands far more about what the body needs and has great insight - just go with what appeals. If I'm not hungry, I don't push it - I rely on my body letting me know what it wants. The Ziploc bag of goodies really helps here - you can take food for later on the trail when the munchies strike.

* I think my recovery is speeded up by high protein intake, lots of organic cocoa powder, vitamin C and bathing the feet in Epson salts.

'''What I ate'''

I got through about 6 peanut butter cups. I ate a huge number of cookies, which seem to work well for me, as well as cheeseits. Also, a three slices of pizza, a hotdog, PB&J sandwiches, 3x 6oz tubes of PB+Honey+Flax Oil mix, lots of broth, a few gu, ~3 gallons Gatorade (probably not enough), pancakes+syrup (too messy), toasted cheese sandwiches (awesome!), m&ms, Ramen noodles, electrolyte capsules, red bull (though not much to my surprise)
