Day 32-no one

Today I didn't see a sole on the trail. It's because most people stayed in tehachapi or Mojave so they started the day 10 miles behind me. Even so, I did not feel like hiking today. I took many many breaks, with about half of them being long ones. I attribute the lack of motivation to not sleeping well the past few nights. The scenery today was made up mostly of hills that bordered on mountains. Many of which had wind farms on them. It was especially tough to start out too, because I had to climb over 2000 feet to get up into the mountains. Here I had to put my headphones in to fight through the tiredness. It was the first day I have listed to music since day one. Well I got through it all and pushed myself to make it to the water source that was 15 miles in. I filled up and got in 6 more miles. Bringing my daily total to 21 very hard miles. I thought eating good food would make me feel better so I had gnocchi for lunch and spanish rice for dinner. Both were excellent and hopefully they help my motivation for tomorrow. I even stopped pretty early today to try to get some extra rest and I was checking out this bump I have had on my dirty leg for a while and found a nearly half inch thorn in it. I got it pulled out and some ointment on it, but maybe that will make me feel better too. I am camped in a wind farm because many people have said that is where there best nights sleep has been and I need a good one. A little over 100 miles to Kennedy meadows. Then the extremely snowy (record snow year) sierras! Can't wait.
