Bloomsday was fun, even more so
walking with Lori on her first Bloomsday. We survived the walk without
too many aches and pains. Lori's knees started hurting again afterward
but we're hoping it isn't too much of a setback. These things are
frustrating but I suppose they are to be expected with two middle-aged people
who spent so much time sitting on the couch. Everyone has their dues to pay.
| The buzzard didn't get us today! |
This was the longest walk we've
taken in our training so far but it is still slightly less than half of the
walking we'll have to do on the Camino every day. It's a good
thing we are still 25 months out.
| The prize. |
From here we plan to give our feet
and knees a couple days of rest then get back on the trail again. The
goal is to increase frequency to four to five walks a week, one of which is about
7.5 miles. As our bodies allow we will slowly increase frequency and
duration. We are making progress, slowly but surely.
