Wynette: When we first had this crazy idea to walk the Camino it was very abstract. How hard could it be to walk 12 miles a day for 40 days, allowing for 10 extra rest days when needed? Now for the reality. I realize now that if I’m able to do this it will be a huge accomplishment. I feel a bit stiff and sore at the end of each day and feet hurt like crazy, but energy has been good. I’m sure energy is from that high altitude Albuquerque oxygen still in our blood. But I’m very slow, especially on the long steep uphills followed by the long steep downhills, repeat, repeat, repeat. Charlie has been patient and wonderful. He could easily be going twice as fast as we are going.

I don’t think it matters how fast you go, I think it’s awesome that you are doing it! Each day is a big accomplishment all by itself. Jean G.
