The training is going real good and I am hoping it will pay off. They say the first week is the hardest and that you get stronger as you go, so that by the time you hit some of the tough parts, you've already toughened up.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585084509914920085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3925198817503557457.post-60238418209509139632009-08-17T23:23:41.451-04:002009-08-17T23:23:41.451-04:00That sounds like a lot of walking.

But the Camino de Santiago is a lot more strenuous that the walk-training I have been doing. And sometimes a lot more hours on the road.<br />I am trying to be as prepared as I can, but they say you are never really prepared for the Camino experience, until you embark on the actual pilgrimage.<br />Less than three weeks and I'll be on the Camino!!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585084509914920085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3925198817503557457.post-79255519210819914612009-08-16T12:49:10.476-04:002009-08-16T12:49:10.476-04:00That sounds lovely.

A glass of sparkling spring water doesn't have quite the same effect!<br /><br />Good for you for doing the training - sounds like you're planning a big trip? I wish you luck with the blisters, but the footwear and socks look good.<br /><br />Thanks for your visit to my blog!
