I am now 14 days into the del Norte and I've just published several blogs on the first few days. It has been a very humbling and thought provoking experiences. Walking alone like this is a new experience and I've had trouble adjusting to the solitude of the Norte. The weather has been mostly cold and rainy and combined with the muddy, mountainous trails it has surprisingly taken a toll on my knees. I've never had this issue with knees before. I'm taking a day or two off to see if they'll recover enough for me to keep walking. I'm holed up for now in the town of Castro-Urdiales. Wish me luck!

I have been walking 1-2 hours daily should I up this? I also try to carry a pack with 10-15 pounds in it to ready my back for the long walk. The mountains scare me I live in FL and only have bridges to train on. Any advice is welcomed.
