[QUOTE="MMCamino, post: 632491, member: 81637"] Hello, I have been visiting and reading this forum for quite a while now. It such a lovely community and very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your stories, experience and advice. A friend told me about the Camino over a decade ago. And, during the last few years l have felt it's call. Particularly, over the last year. I have been unable to make a decision for the last few months mainly due to self-doubt. I am considering completing the CF. Time is not an issue. I am looking at September-Oct taking 35 days to complete the pilgrimage. My main concern is l would only have 10 weeks to prepare myself. I am early 40's, sedentary lifestyle for longer than l would like to admit and l am overweight. I am not sure if 10 weeks will be enough time to prepare myself or if l should wait until next year giving me plenty of time to drop some excess weight and increase my fitness? Also, l am thinking if l do this l would prefer to stay in private rooms and have them all pre-booked before l arrive. Although, I do wonder if this might make me feel a little isolated. I would appreciate any helpful advice/ input. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
