Dear fellow Pilgrims, as they say once you make the decision to do the Camino, the Camino has started. I have already postponed the Camino for health issues, a cracked rib and foot issues....Those are healing so I now am planning to go early Sept. I just started walking again and can do about 4 miles, but planned to work up to it in the next 4 months. I am 55 with osteoporosis, but a lot of spunk . Yesterday I broke my toe!!!!! Dumb, crashed into a vacuum cleaner. It's just the second to last toe, will heal, but it is purple and I can not walk on it right now. My question is.....realistically, can someone who is a bit frail with my issues get ready physically for the Camino in 2 months? (seeing that this toe will keep me from training walks for a while) I am so determined to do this and I will be fine going slowly. Am I crazy? Is the Camino telling me something?

I've seen a couple of training programs and a 16 week program beginning with doing nothing and building up to two 8 hour walks back to back. Do a web search on training programs for a camino and you will find a program that fits your needs.Dear fellow Pilgrims, as they say once you make the decision to do the Camino, the Camino has started.

Thank you for asking this question! I am brand new here (my first post) and it would seem your Camino walk should have just occurred this fall if you were able. How did things turn out?
I appreciate your asking the question, and everyone's answers. I am "a little" disabled by systemic medical conditions and I worry that I won't be able to do this. These replies have been just what I needed to read. I'm going to give myself a year to get my body and plans sorted out and in 2016 I will walk the Camino, even if I have to use a service to carry my pack a little bit to help me along.
I hope you did go.
