5:05pm Arrival in Carlsbad! 15.5 miles today!
Well you can’t keep her down for long! Pretty much right after I posted the photo of her lying down with ice packs, she was already up again — taping her shins and ready to take on the last leg of today’s revised itinerary: Camp Pendleton Main Gate to Carlsbad: the last 4.5 miles of the day!

Here she is — slowly but VERY determined to get to Carlsbad!
In her own words:
See the map below for how this difficult day actually progressed.
Monica, May 14th
I definitely got quite a lot of mileage walked — just not all in a continuous line!!
I am SO GLAD to have Bill close by for situations like today!
Things could have ended in disaster without this incredible man watching out for me!
