Day two - where we actiually see how this is going to work

Day two done! Better yet, we're still on schedule. We started from our friend Katie's place around 7am after a delicious breakfast of some tasteless organic cereal John bought. Full of all-natural carbo-energy, things started well. The biggest difference between yesterday and today was that we were already sore. Honestly I had doubts last night, but once I got used to the constant pain it was all about looking forward.

The weather really came through today as well. The forecast was that we would get dumped on again starting around noon. We were walking in Ossining around then but since the skies still looked good we soldiered on. We got a few sprinkles but no heavy rain, thank crap.

The last stretch of the day was on route 9. Those of you familiar with the Hudson Valley know how 9 isn't exactly a pedestrian friendly road. While not an interstate by any means, there were trucks flying by us constantly. It was actually worse when the road was smaller around Sleepy Hollow (which John will discuss) and there was no shoulder. Initially cars speeding by a few feet away was disconcerting, but once the fatigue really set it I just took it for granted that they probably wouldn't hit me. And if they did... well it wouldn't really matter if I saw it coming or not, eh?

So far we haven't had extended conversations with too many people. I think we were still getting used to how this "insane amount of walking" thing works. Starting tomorrow we'll try to plan some in. We're still solidly in Yankee (or Mets) territory, though I did see one Sox hat so far besides my own.

That's all for me. John will blog a bit later. This blog is brought to you by our incredible friend Corey who is letting us crash tonight.
