I was on the road at 8:00 a.m. as promised.  I completed 18.56 miles in 6 hours and 37 minutes.  Why so slow? Well, it's because the area is still mountainous and my knee is still swollen, so I have to walk it - no running for awhile.  The highlights of my day were, the sun was shining and the countryside is green.  There are cows everywhere and huge boulders (huge like the size of a semi-truck) in the fields.  There are fields full of yellow flowers, mustard I am told.  I stopped by a roadside cheese stand and had a great sandwich and met a few people that were very interested in Innocent Man Walking.  The only downside to the day was, I lost my cell phone along the way.  Luckily, I ended up in a town where I was able to get a replacement phone right away.  I'll be back at it tomorrow morning, one foot in front of the other, one step at a time.
