Eight more sleeps before I leave for Europe; eleven more until I start my real journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m starting to hit my stride, less worried and more excited and eager about the trip. Not an hour goes by with some of my thoughts travelling to Spain. I feel more together and more self- assured. I had been worried to late as to whether I would be able to complete the Camino. But now, I\u2019ve got my confidence back and feel good. I\u2019ve concluded that if for some reason I can\u2019t finish, it just means that I have a new starting point next time. Either way, I\u2019m good with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve done a lot more walking lately, with full pack, satchel and water bottle (although I have yet to find a comfortable way of carrying it). It feels good. The pack, a Gregory z55, feels very comfortable with almost all of the weight transferred to my hips and the spine of the pack is designed with a gap so most of my back gets air. Also, now that I\u2019ve changed the lacing style on my shoes I\u2019m feeling significantly less discomfort. This is a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
