Friends of Shari,
I just spoke to our intrepid hiker today...from some little town in Virginia. Her beginning days went well, even though hurricane Ernesto was still dumping buckets. She averaged between 10 and 14 miles per day during the horrid weather. That is amazing! The weather has finally cleared up for her...but a new problem has come up. She apparently injured a bursa sac in her knee. She managed to get off the trail and into a small town. After a day or so of ice and rest she'll make a decision whether to see a doctor or to get back on the trail. I know how bummed she'll be if she only does those 40 miles or so. I'll keep you all posted on her progress but in the meantime please join me in wishing her the best...whichever way this thing goes!
Husband Mike

Oh My God!
Shari, it never occured to me that you were battling the hurricane, but of course that would be the case. Wow! I'm sorry about the weather and your knee, but given your spirit and commitment, I know you will make the best choices all the way around. During your recoup time, feel free to call if you want some words of support, someone to listen, some inspiration or whatever you need. In the meantime, I'm sending much good joo joo and love your way. Hugs and kisses. J.
