- Time of past OR future Camino

Thank you for the wealth of information on the forum. I now have all of my equipment, including my Pilgrim Forum Patch from Ivar. I have another question for the Forum. I "injured" (NOT ruptured) my right Achilles tendon while running last October. I could still walk around, but stopped running and hiking for 2 months while rehabbing the tendon. I am now walking daily to prepare for the Camino. I have 1 month to go, leaving on March 28 for Madrid.
Has anyone had any experiences with Achilles tendon issues while preparing for or injured the tendon while walking the Camino? I would appreciate hearing about your experiences. I plan to take it easy as needed on the Camino as I have the time. For example, I will stop at Orisson (from St. Jean) on my first day. I also feel better that the hiking poles will take some load off my feet (and Achilles tendons). Again, thank you for all the information and wisdom on the Forum. I am so glad that I can turn to this Forum whenever I have had questions.
