[QUOTE="DuaneS, post: 909698, member: 65667"] Hey everyone, So after I did the last walk and arrived home, my shin bone started really bothering me. I could hardly walk on it for a few days, so I think I really overworked it. I guess being basically trapped in my apartment in Spain for a year has really killed my 'trail hardiness'. I took a 10 day break after that last walk, which as it turns out wasn't enough, but today I managed to knock off another 15km today. I took train from Valencia back to where I left off last time, and walked to Algemesi today, which is officially the end of stage 1 for the Levante. I actually think this official stage should be broken up (like I walked it) somehow as it's crazy long and not a good way to start a camino I think (nearly 40km on your first day) - I can't imagine doing it all in one day, as you'd be completely wiped, and, if out of practice (like me), potentially end up injuring yourself. Here are some photos from the day. My shin didn't bother me up until around the 10km mark, and then hurt pretty much all the way into Algemesi, 5km further. So I think I may need to take a 2 or a 3 week break to let it heal properly before carrying on - so this may be a long, drawn out process! But such is my camino. This stage, from Valencia to Algemesi, has some cute little villages, but the trail is mostly along pavement and the scenery is pretty industrial. It has its own charm obviously, but I'm quite looking forward to hitting Xativa (at the end of the next stage), and carrying on a bit further from there. [/QUOTE]
