You guessed it, I’m still in Helena. This morning, I returned to The Base Camp to see if any of the shirts had magically shrunk overnight. They had not, but I decided to peruse the women’s section. I found a white, long-sleeved sun shirt and headed to the dressing room. Wouldn’t you know? Perfect fit!

I then began a search for some zip-off pants. I was planning to wear the new liner shorts with my running shorts that I’ve been wearing in town, but I discovered that when I wear these shorts on the uni, I expose a little more leg than I’m comfortable with. So, I ended up back in the women’s section and located a pair of zip-offs that fit pretty well. Now that I’m entirely outfitted in women’s clothing and have lost my beard, I feel like a rough and tough man…. At least I’ll not be wearing spandex anymore.

After Base Camp, I returned to Taco Del Sol for another burrito before heading to Hub Coffee for coffee and planning. At Hub Coffee, I met with Clay, who has a radio show on Montana Public Radio called Mountain West Voices. We chatted for a bit, and we’ll try to meet on my way out of town tomorrow morning for an interview.

Even though I’ve had all day to plan and get caught up with posting journal entries, I still have a lot to do before heading out in the morning. I don’t understand!
