I have all my usual post camino routines complete, e.g.  getting the car up to snuff checking with my doctors re medical appts catching up with my social organizations in terms of committments, responsibilities, etc prepping for the upcoming school season (student, not teacher) And yet so much makes so little sense to me right now.  I find myself wondering "What is the point?" This is strange because on prior caminos, I have returned re-invigorated and ready for action. I find that I don't care about my G...

Two Weeks To Go

Total This Camino: 0 miles. Total 2024 Caminos: 103 miles Total All Caminos: 2103 miles Planes: $ 1500 (round trip) Total Planes / Travel Insurance: $ 1500 / $ 246 Two Weeks To Go Physical health The big issue is the right hamstring. Visited the physical therapist (Alex) yesterday, and she again strongly suggested that I give up pickleball with the Camino departure date so close. This time I listened, espeially because she gave me something else that I could do in the interim that would both help the hamstring slowly continue to heal, as well as replace the activity level of pickleball. So I am very measuredly adding jogging back to the routine.  It is more walking than jogging, but if it helps me heal, then that is a good thing. Training My Baltour backpack feels good. I have it pretty much loaded, except for something that must wait until the end, e.g. food container, soap, shampoo, dental stuff, etc. 5 Mile Genesee Valley, Erie Canal & Red Creek HIke 12 Days to Go and ...
