I’m still training for my Camino. Today I walked 10.1kms. I set out at 8:00am to walk to the Brickworks at the bottom of the Mud Creek ravine. I decided that I could treat myself to breakfast once I got there. I was so pumped at 5kms that I splurged on a Belgian waffle with fruit and cream for $10.00. Coffee was and extra $3.00. I’ll never have enough money to do a Camino at the rate I’m treating myself!!<\/p>\n

I also realized that not only do I have to be fit, I also have to be nimble. I have to be able to manipulate backpack – open to retrieve wallet. Right hand with waffle, left hand with walking pole, where does one hold coffee. In fact I looked like a house of cards ready to collapse, when a kind stranger offered to reset the lid on my coffee before everything fell apart. There are angels everywhere!!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The waffle was filling. The coffee was great. It was early so the crowds were manageable. I bought $5.00 worth of green beans and passed on the Ginger Gala apples for $7.00. There were maybe 7 in the entire basket. Maybe next time when I bring my own breakfast.<\/p>\n

The entire walk took me 2.75hrs. The walk down hill was about an hour. OK, I used to be able to do 5kms in 45mins. That was about 10 years ago. I spent half an hour at the market and then walked back uphill, a little slower, but not exhausted.<\/p>\n

And as a footnote – pun intended. I had no blisters!!<\/p>\n

Buen Camino!!<\/p>\n

The picture? The peace at the end of the struggle.<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful day!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
