Day 141 – 9/15/11 – 28 miles (2452)

And thus marks the day when Washington actually started. The notorious misty drippy rains of Washington were with us all day today, spoiling the views and soaking my pants. At least it’s town day eve.

The end is close, so I’ve been doing some reflecting. Here are my thoughts on foods that have been ruined for me.

Foods I hope to never eat again:
-Avocados
-Clif bars
-Pop tarts (the only thing worse than pop tarts are the generic version)
-Tortillas (unless they’re filled with something special, like Chipotle)
-Ramen
-Instant mashed potatoes

Foods that used to be my favorites, but I now won’t choose if there’s another option:
-Fruit snacks (the kind with an ingredient list including the words “high fructose corn syrup” and “contains less than 2% of artificial and natural fruit flavors”)
-Milky way candy bars (formerly my favorite)
