Man oh man. I can’t believe I’m doing this. My whole body hurts. I’ve been having the interesting sensation of numbness across my chest, I think I’ve been keeping my sternum strap too tight. But anyway, right now I’m sitting in a place with more heads on the wall than the risd nature lab.<\/p>\n
Things that are awesome:
\n1) hiking poles
\n2) liner socks
\n3) hydration bladders<\/p>\n
Things that are not awesome:
\n1) cell reception
\n2) iPhone battery life<\/p>\n
It’s a lot harder to meditate out here than I thought it would be. I take so many more steps than breaths, the whole pace is faster. Half the time I’ve got the verse of some song looping in my head.

It’s strange being surrounded by so many men. I feel really weird around men, and have a tougher time communicating with them. I didn’t really realize how much more comfortable I am around and talking to women until now because there are very few females about.<\/p>\n
