11. We’re going to do about 400 miles - I’m training for it now!

We’re going to start in Pamplona as we’ve heard that a great percentage of people who start in the Pyrenees end up giving up after 3 days because of injuries. The amount of injuries sustained from Pamplona to Santiago decreases significantly. We thought that was a good bet!

The reason I’m doing this in the first place is because I was diagnosed this summer with MS so I thought it wise to move this up on my bucket list while I still can. My friend had a massive heart attack when he was in his 30’s and has bad diabetes (though you’d never guess to look at him - he’s young and runs everyday) so when i said I was going he said “I’m coming with you!!!” I think my husband is going to join us for the last week or 2 and a friend from England is contemplating doing the whole walk with us as well. The more the merrier! You’re welcome to join too LOL - I’ve got some great jazz on my iPod!

I’ve been walking 5 miles everyday through some very varied terrain that mimics the landscape we’ll be walking over next September. We’ve calculated to do the whole Camino in a month we’d need to do 27 miles a day to allow for a day or two “off”...so I’ve got less than a year to get myself in shape!
