My surgically repaired right knee swollen from the 77.20 mile day. East Windsor, NJ.

 The only solution is to take a day off and ice it down, and get off my feet. This has happened in the past, and unfortunately this is the only solution — short of stopping altogether, which I won’t do.

Day 12:
Start: Egg Harbor Township, NJ
Finish: East Windsor, NJ
Miles: 77.20

After a full day of rest, icing down, I should be able to continue northbound on my own with reduced mileages for the first few days back. More on this tomorrow.
