In the morning I felt stronger....yes! This hike is whipping me into shape. It was cloudy which meant it was cooler, and this definitely helped with my energy. However, my foot muscles were sore, and then in the afternoon my right knee got sore. It stayed sore for the rest of our vacation. On one of our lunch breaks we met two flip floppers who had started a week earlier. We are starting to see more wildflowers every day.
