SJPP to SdC, 2023
CF, 2024
Update:
Have heard some amazing support and advice, and trying hard and to take it (listening to my bod) to heart!
Quite honestly I am hoping I won't be in that group of injured, either physically or emotionally!
1. I CANNOT get the damn bag down in weight! Me, 193lbs and pretty fit bag, 30 ish nasty lbs! Not the clothes, sooo....first aid?, Do bandaid and polysporin weigh anything? Every little thing is, well little! Cannot figure out how you guys have a bag of 10% or less!!
2. I have planned...oh baby have I planned! Now, I have the first 6 days sorted, paid for, and "only" have to get to the albergue! And Burgos, and Santiago at the end. I decided to let the rest ride, in true Camino spirit!
Yes I have a game plan for EVERY day, and I know where, God-willing, I will celebrate my 65th. But I have accepted as much as possible on this, my first Camino, that I WILL have what I need.
Again, I have so much gratitude for you and this forum! Have learned everything from you guys!

Hi...
....just off the treadmill with my (very) full pack and following about 2 1/2 hours. I was struck at how challenging this really is!
I just.keep looking at my stages I hope to be able to achieve....Seven 25 -30 km days, 3 days of rest, Logroño, Burgos, Léon.
Okay, no pressure, but I REALLY would love to walk into Santiago on 2July, starting 26May from SJPP.
Will turn 6 5, hopefully on top of the mountain with Tomas near.the Cruz de Fero!
How about some encouragement? Feeling pretty shaky right now!
