For me, one of the joys of the Camino de Santiago is the preparation for that walk. I learned in 2016/17 that the walking, hiking and comradery which was part of both was almost as important as the Way itself.
This year, as we did in the past, many of us are making regular walks just to get our aging bodies in shape for the daily grind of walking the 18-20 miles that we’ll do each day.
Yesterday, we walked the White Rock Creek Trail a round trip of almost 7 miles, it was flat an easy for the most part but, it was a good start and a great chance to talk with friends. While I woke up a bit sore this morning, it felt good in a way, I earned those aches.
Five months and counting…
