After a rough transition to the new year, I am back in shape and walking regularly. From the pain and training the reason for my pilgrimage is starting to come into focus. Surprising or not in some ways it involves a yearning for the more religious times of my youth. More on that later. For now I am spending more time planing how to break up my walking. Today I would like to share a chapter from Leslie Gilmore's excellant guide, Camino De Santiago: Camino Frances 2015. In this chapter he writes of breaking the first day, considered the most difficult, into two days. I, too, am considering this.
