I am a heart attack survivor!! THE NO.1 KILLER OF WOMEN is HEART DISEASE? It kills more women every year than ALL cancers combined!! FACT! In 2010 I walked the Spanish Camino to raise funds for Heart Disease research. This is an 850km trek from the French border across to the western coast of Spain - St Jean to Santiago!

Where I'm at!
OK, so I'm just under 8 weeks out....training has been manic and a panic - but of course, that's just me! Physically: training has probably been a little over the top, from what I've read recently on the many Camino Forums....SOOOO my boots are well and truly worn in - they've had a thumping for the past 2-3 months!! That is a biggie and the back pack fits well and very comfortable - so a continuation of my weekend walks only Saturday or Sunday now (4 or 5hrs) and some gym work with the incline and pilates for strength. Mentally: I'm ready, I've been ready since the beginning of the year...SOOOO BRING IT ON!!

ReplyDeleteLizzie, Michele & Chris - thank you! It is a journey with so much unknown and I'm not used to that....LOL which is going to be a good thing for me...going solo is also a good thing and will help conquer my demons as I acknowledge, deal and shed them along the way to Santiago...not to mention the awesome photographic opps that will be surrounding me every day.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your support
