Another tough day

Seam sealing the tent did not go well. The wind was far too high and, because of the snow, I couldn't tack the tent down. I tried to secure it with weights, but no luck. Perhaps I'll seal it this weekend, but maybe I can borrow a friend's garage for a day. That's my final "trail task", along with shipping out some resupply boxes.

Other than that, about 9 miles with 2500 feet of elevation work. Yep, it's really hurting at this point. Then again, I'm working hard, doing it in about 5 hours, which is a brisk pace. I'll have to get out of my "sprinter's mentality" and start thinking like a marathoner.

Back to the training grind tomorrow, then a weekend off, a long, flat walk on Monday, and a break until the next Sunday. Day 1.

Matt, I saw that you were having problems with your Multiplottr map - so I worked on it to fix it.

Here is the link - http://www.multiplottr.com/index.html?dashboard=false&mapWidth=100%&mapHeight=600&mapZoom=12&mapControl=true&mapControlSize=large&mapType=true&mapOverview=true&mapDatabase=http://www.multiplottr.com/datafiles/camping.txt

Notice at the end of this link, there is &mapDatabase=http://www.multiplottr.com/datafiles/camping.txt - that is your fix.
The problem is is that firefox has a larger url cache then the other browsers, so it cuts out half way when other browsers are viewing your link - so I came up with a way that if you save your batchaddress output to a text file and upload it to a server and then reference into your link - everything should work!

If you have any problems, dont hesitate to contact me!
