Thank you so much for all of the support.
I’ve decided to go ahead and if I walk 10 minutes and quit for the day so be it.
Maybe in the end it will be exactly the Camino that I needed!
Maybe I’ll spend a day sitting by the road handing out frozen treats????
Who knows? I will be in Spain...
Help!! Damaged LCL yesterday and I’m supposed to fly to France tomorrow to start my Camino.
My doctor says go and walk a km a day! I’ll finish when I’m a hundred and eight. Do I go? Stay? Aarghhh! I just stepped wrong in the garden- nothing dramatic. I spent yesterday crying and icing and icing...
Great post....
I was pretty sure i wasn’t the only short , chubby walker out there!
I have the boobs to match the Ruebenesque figure which with my pack straps creates a nasty looking mono boob silhouette.
I’m hoping the fashion police don’t make an appearance!
Adding my two cents worth to the pile. Your posts have guided me and taught me, and mostly impressed me. Im only sorry that I am walking too far ahead of you to buy you a beverage in thanks. ( well unless something goes seriously wrong).
Take care of yourself.

The five weeks might just be what you need to sort out the " whats next " in your life question.
I see that you live in Canada. Im Canadian too so I can say with utter...
You are both spot on about this forum.
Its become my happy place.
Im extremely thankful to those pilgrims who share their knowledge, experience and love of the camino so freely.
Thanks to everyone.
Someone I know walked arrived in Spain to " walk the camino and sort out her life"
She had not trained at all, never put her pack on outside of the store, thought that the water was too heavy and dumped out not only hers but her walking companions. Her back was covered in rubbed raw spots ...
Such wasteful destruction!
I will never understand graffiti. I am never just walking around with paint. Thats the strangest thing - that you have to plan it. The big spray painted graffiti on overpasses confuses the heck out of me.....buying the paint ( expensive where I live) climbing up or...
Its wonderful that you will get to experience this at a younger age. I was jus a bit older than you when I first heard about the Camino. I wanted to go ever since.
Enjoy all of it.
Buen Camino and good luck!
