Day 2: 
38 Miles
Edit: This part written after FKT 
Day 2 was an interesting day.  When I was originally thinking about the BMT and everything that I had heard centered around it being a more "out there trail".  Day two saw that response, said "hold my beer" and illustrated how that was incorrect.

On Day 2 I planned a break for a shelter that was literally in the heart of a neighborhood and spent a good amount of the first half walking and navigating roads until the second half of the day provided the solitude I was promised.

Overall the knee started to bother me more and more and really proved to be a problem on the downhills.  Uphills were mostly manageable but every time I started to go down I had to watch my step and I was very careful not to overcompensate because I injured myself in 2017 overcompensating when a hip hurt and I promised to never do that.  

The pain in my knee felt centralized to the left knee on the outside under the kneecap and for the most part about every couple of miles, i could stretch away the pain only for it to come back eventually.

This day i did not get to my reach goal of the GA/TN border settling for 5 miles before the border, but as compensation, I did get to call home and let Michelle know that it was as good as could be expected
