I am developing a new dream. I have been reading about the El Camino, it is a 500 mile pilgrimage through France and Spain. I have been reading different books on it, talking to people, watching movies etc. I am seriously considering this in the next two years. Cheri has given it some thought and is very willing to go along with me. I think its time to start training a bit and ensure I am in good enough health to do it. It will involve walking approx. 16 miles a day for a month. That is to complete the entire camino, which is what I would prefer to do. I know it can be done in stages, but doubt I would ever get back over there again to do it. My feelings now are better to do it all at once. To that end, I am going to start today to up my steps and my strength training in the lower body. I am talking via email to a woman friend of Nadine Carr's who has done the trip twice. I also am following various blogs and facebook pages. Trying to figure it all out.
