    Adios amigos

    i must acknowledge that i am often chagrined to find that simple requests for factual information are met instead with people telling the OP that they should not ask for the information requested, or that they are wrong somehow, or they they asked incorrectly, etc. i went away for a couple of...

    How much training is required?

    Oh hey! That's my planned start date as well. I'm walking about 5k at a time, several times a day some days. Need to add weight. See you there!!

    I'm Worried about Walking with my Wife !

    i'm planning a camino and have friends that have discussed coming along including my husband. our plan is to walk at our own pace, together or not, and meet up at specific points down the road. i'm not sure that'll work for you and your wife, but it might.

    Suggestions for Boots on Camino

    i haven't walked the camino yet--still training, but i have Ahnu Montara boots that i love. i find them much more supportive than Merrills, which is what i've always used prior to this. i did end up adding Sole custom foot beds, because i'm struggling with PF. good luck!

    Just Finished The Camino Frances St Jean To Santiago Some Thoughts

    thanks! i intend to. i've been training for months and am seriously pleased that i am up to 11 min km on flat ground (no weight yet--i intend to work on weight when my PT for my car accident is done) and 12+ min kms on a small uphill grade. i'm lucky. i get to train in a hilly city well above...

    Just Finished The Camino Frances St Jean To Santiago Some Thoughts

    Can't. I'm meeting someone along the way. I believe I'll have time. But I don't have that luxury this time. And given that I have leukemia, while the Camino will undoubtedly call again, I may not be able to answer next time.

    Just Finished The Camino Frances St Jean To Santiago Some Thoughts

    most of us do have the limitation of the fact that we have a plane ticket with a date on it. i'll have 35 days...if i run short of time (which may happen if things go really wrong) i'll need to take a bus in the middle to catch up with myself.

    Cheapest Way to Way

    I found that I was much more capable of walking than I expected. I've built up from a couple km with breaks to 5 km at a time without a problem. I bet you are stronger than you think. (Makes me think of a Winnie the Pooh movie " braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you...

    Cheapest Way to Way

    i'm not trying in anyway to be negative, but it seems like the best option you'd have to save some money would be to reduce the amount of time you were gone from work either by training before you set out so you could walk further per day. (i know what it's like to be in poor shape and want to...

    I'm going to guess you didn't mean 4 months, but 4 weeks?

    Finisterre safety awareness for lone women

    the thing is, there's no knowing how many other reports about this person there a) have been or b) will be. but if no one reports the incidents, the police never know.

    A Very Nervous and Concerned PilgrimMom

    i don't mean to sound callous but....the numbers i've heard are like this. more than 200,000 people walk a portion or all of the camino each year. the fact that a SINGLE tragic incident is making the news and being discussed is evidence, in my estimation, that the camino is actually pretty...
