Entry 2: Screw it, We're eating marshmallows tonight too!

Man last night I did not sleep well. The train car I was sin kept blasting the AC so it was freezing and I was wearing shorts. The train finally made it to Jacksonville by 9am (it was supposed to arrive by 7am). I know the Southern Tier Route technically starts in St. Augustine, but I want to nake it to California as fast as possible so I figured instead of wasting 60 miles to head from Jacksonville to St. Augustine, I decided to cut thru to Wellborn (Map 103)
Any way I was debating on whether I wanted to travel 30 or 60 miles today because i checked the weather and it looked like it was gona rain in the afternoon. I already booked a Motel 6 in Macclenny which is only 30 miles out from Jacksonville that I could cancel anytime in case I felt like pushing on the extra 30 miles (I didnt). I like to blame my lack of sleep, but it was really my physical endurance, over packing, fear of being rained on and lack of sleep  that kept me to only 30 miles today. Dammit I packed too much food. For lunch I had ramen and dinner is also going to be ramen cause dammit, I packed too much food even tho there's a Wendy right next door to my motel that I could literally walk to......Nevermind I talked myself into it/compromised, Im eating ramen with a side of chicken nuggets and a coke.
It looks like its gona rain all of this week and next week so Ill probably take it easy and just stay at motels instead of camping which is a shame cause I got this bag of marshmallows thats also weighing me down.....Screw it, we're eating some marshmallows tonight too!
So far at the official start of the trip I cycled 30 miles and spent $73 dollars for a room at a motel 6.
