[QUOTE="lighteningstrike, post: 625719, member: 80998"] Hello everyone, I wanted to say a huge huge thank you for all your messages of advice and encouragement. I've been really blown away and actually quite moved by the posts here, as well as those of you who've reached out to me by private message. The thought of meeting similar kind souls on the Camino has been a real boost! It's lovely to hear that I'm not the only one to have doubts, that that's normal, and that although this will be a challenge, it won't be impossible. What has helped most is all of you who have pointed out that this will be MY Camino - if I can't do it all in time, or need to take rest days, or need to catch a bus at some point, that's ok, it won't be any less 'real'. I think so much of my anxiety came from the fear that I'd go ahead and start, find it an awful/exhausting experience, and then think 'Well I'm stuck here now, I've started and have no choice but to keep on going, even though I can't.' It sounds silly even typing it out like that! I've decided that I need to go and try, I'll certainly regret it if I don't. I'm sure I'll post with further questions in the future (for a start - I have spent all of today and yesterday trying to find some comfortable walking shoes, and absolutely none will fit properly! What am I doing wrong?!) but for now, a big thank you once more. You've really helped me, and I'm excited to see how this adventure unfolds! [/QUOTE]
