My IAT adventure by the numbers

I previously talked about how I wasn't counting anything during my trek -- miles down, miles to go, segments completed, counties passed through, etc. It seemed too overwhelming. Now that I'm finished, it seems fun. So here are some figures to consider:

• Miles walked/run: Approximately 1,100. (It's hard to be exact, when you consider backtracking, new segments, shortcuts from the suggested connecting routes, etc.)
• Toenails lost: 3 (almost 4) and counting
• Pounds lost: 11
• Pants worn: 0
• Shoes rotated through: 6-8, plus 1 pair of Keen sandals
• Bottles of bug spray used: 3
• Honey Stinger Energy Waffles consumed: About 48
• Honey Stinger Energy Chews consumed: About 24
• Energy bars consumed: At least 35
• Bags of cheese curds consumed: 3 (great trail snack, I've discovered)
• Seroogy's chocolate bars consumed: 35
• Days it rained on me: 1
• Days I was cold: A few hours at the end of 1 day
• Days I was hot: 36
• Times I cried (briefly) in frustration because I was lost: 1-2
• Burrs picked off myself: Hundreds
• Thru- and section hikers I met: 7
• Bears I saw: 4 (mother and 3 cubs, seen from our car)
• Miles Ed and Maura put on our car, crewing me: 2,800
• Days I wore make-up: 0
• Days I fixed my hair: 0
• Days I wore my compression socks: 36
• Days I loved what I was doing: Every. Single. Day!
