Very challenging, but tons of fun. I haven't been backpacking in a long time and was so happy to sleep out on the trails. Big thanks to Paige for encouraging me to go and Dad & DD from dropping me off in Mackinaw. I ended up running a lot more than I planned, but it felt good for the most part. I planned to hike the whole 2nd day, but when I started in the morning, I felt good & just wanted to run. But the last 5 miles of walking (on pavement) were pretty tough each day/night. Simon and Garfunkle helped me on Saturday night and Neil Young helped me today. I wish that pack was a lot lighter. First time using it. I'm not sure I can keep using it without getting hardware removed from clavicle. I definitely had plenty of extra food (maybe enough for another half-full day?).
Watch froze for a while ~mile 10. I'll have to take a closer look to see how much it screwed up the data. I have backup recording from phone (but that is a lot less accurate & doesn't have HR data).

I carried ~9000 calories (way more than I needed, but oh well). I started with 2.5 L of water. I filtered water 3 times along the way. There are plenty of places to filter. I camped about 34 miles into the journey and enjoyed myself (rather than cut short my night, since there wasn't really a time to beat in this case). I ran a lot and hiked some too, especially at the end of each day. I traveled alone, but occasionally saw strangers on the trail. I had a lot of great wild-life sightings: belted kingfisher, black-throated blue warbler, red-bellied snake, sandhill crane,  blue winged teal, lots of frogs, garter snake and I got to hear coyotes. This route is AWESOME. I really want to come back and run it continuously with fresh legs and without all that gear. You pretty much do not pass near any stores to buy food or water. I also did not see any places with public water faucets, but one sign said there were some at a community building.
