Well, apparently we’re all getting the equivalent of Cabin Fever in anticipation of our departure for the Camino in 7 weeks.
I’ve written previously about my concerns and self-doubts. Was I in good enough shape, did I have what I needed, was I carrying too much stuff, too little. For me, I got over that a couple weeks ago.
It appears though that my comrades are now approaching that same point, like I did, maybe they’re overthinking or trying to plan for every contingency. I realized that I was doing that and I let go. Whether I made the right choice, only time will tell. While reading other blogs, I’ve come across this quote several times “the Camino will provide.” In a few weeks, we’ll find out if it does and if it’s good or bad.
Colorado Bend is coming up next weekend and it should be fun but also challenging enough to make us aware that we’re working for it. A friend of a friend told Renee that they did not train with their packs and they also said that the first days were tough, one thing may have had to with the other. I’m glad that we’ve been training with our equipment and I know it will pay off.
I’m ready to go and I would leave tomorrow if I could.
