Sleep was pretty normal. Made it until 9:00. 3.5g. The mornings are definitely difficult. I wonder if I can do lower amounts 3 times a day. Start at 7, then 11, then 3 or something. I probably wouldn’t feel anything for the first dose. Did a 4.5 mile walk today. So fucking hot and sweaty. Humid and no wind. Loads of people on the path for the holiday. I figured I won’t be out much today because of the heat and the holiday, so best get it out of the way first thing and get the distance in. I felt really strong for most of the walk. The last bit was hard, but that was mainly the heat. Some exhaustion and dehydration. Some pain in my left achilles from new shoes. Some spine pain bothering me, but pretty strong all the way. That feeling I had a while back – that I am craving something, but I don’t know what…I still have that! It wasn’t kratom, it wasn’t drugs. Just one of the strange feelings going through me. Lots of walking today. My left ball of the big toe hurts. My right hamstring hurt. I was babying the left foot. These new shoes. I think I’ll get an insole for these shoes for a bit more comfort. The sole is very thin under the balls of the foot. Pain was a strong 7. Uncomfortable, but not central. Used ice and walks to ease it. I wanted more kratom after my afternoon dose. I decided to just go with what I took and see. It was worth it really. It probably could have been made easier, but this worked out well. I think I’ll just stick with the same amounts. We’ll see what happens when my tolerance grows. Not a bad day. I still feel tons better with the kratom.
