Well folks,
I am literally new to this forum, by less than 5 minutes, at time of writing. So here is my introduction, and my first question.
I use to walk life's road with Christ. Somewhere, somehow, I wandered away from him. Too afraid to admit this to the people in my life, I continued with my weekly mass and worked up through the ranks of a Christian youth organisation, to become their leader. I never strayed from the teachings of the Church when I spoke to the youth. Only a year ago I heard about the Camino. I instantly wanted to do it, and I have never felt so compelled to do anything, in all my life. I have studied maps, read guides, read books, researched the gear I needed, even down to making a list of exactly what I needed, where to get it, and how much to spend. I decided less than 3 months ago that I was fooling myself, and that I would not be doing the walk anytime soon,esp not in March like I claimed I would.
However I was made redundant, just before Christmas and my role as Director of my youth organisation ends on the 1st of January. My redundancy packet will easily see me through until March, and my savings will pay for the trip.
I am 23 years old, 7 stone 13 and I struggle to put on weight, and have a long term partner at home, that would be too ill to join me. Is it realistic to think, that maybe, just maybe, my redundancy was an invite from Jesus, to come and walk with him again? Though I do very little in the way of trekking, is it realistic that I could do the walk in March? Basically, my questions are
Could I be ready for March / Does it take much training? (I want to do the whole 800km of the Camino Frances)
Should I do it in March? (Considering my weight issues and my partner)
Any advice is welcome.
