In bed at night, to help me get to sleep, I pretty well always think of some of the healing, restorative times and places which have been important in my life: magic locations from childhood, scenes from walks, days on the Camino...

As can be expected over 630 miles there are a few dull bits, but these are the exception and most of it is simply stunning.

I always wear my pack and am up to 6 hours walking with 20 pounds in the pack (which is more than I will carry on the Camino).<br />So he finally walked for 4 hours one day with me. He was lame for 3 days afterwards!!!<br />Now he is training at least 2 times a week with loaded pack and is getting stronger.<br />Walking with a loaded pack is NOT easy. No matter how fit you are, you need practice.<br />Less than 3 weeks and we will be on the Camino!!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585084509914920085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352777308480037528.post-62755793982161586942009-08-15T20:52:42.375+10:002009-08-15T20:52:42.375+10:00Boy you guys are getting in some good training hik...Boy you guys are getting in some good training hikes.
