Hi Dave Thx so much for your great advice. I will definitely read up on the cardio conditioning you mention. It’s good to know that I can be improving my fitness even if I may not be able to go as far or as fast as others. That’s a good thing for me to keep in mind as I have sometimes been very...- Mar Oregon

Hi I am finally beginning to consider becoming a pilgrim on El Camino for real. At least for today. Maybe spring of 2020. I retired a couple years ago and finding that I absolutely love not working, I am filling my time with all those things I ‘always wanted to do’. These include painting...- Mar Oregon
