    Long Walks (more than 10 km) between Albergues

    Training for Camino - my worries

    sounds exactly like my training walks at the moment. Finding it hard to get them in, with working full time and needing to be 100% well to walk a long distance. An optimistic attitude might make the difference for me! ;)
