We crossed 200km today! This time last week we were just starting out, and although it wasn’t that long ago, it feels like a lifetime. I’ve met so many people, seen so many ailments, seen a few trips end due to them. It’s only a week, but so much has happened. I feel like I’ve known these ladies for a long time. They’ve been such an incredible first Camino family, and although we’re all headed separate ways tomorrow, I’m so glad to have had the time with them that I have.

Day 8: Nájera, 28.9 km
30km! Well, 29.1, technically, but it’s the longest day thus far, distance wise. It started out slowly, but by the end of the day I caught a bit of an additional wind and, finally, feel like my body is catching up to the demands I’m placing on it.
Day 7: Logorño, 27.8 km
We’ve been walking for one week! 165 km down. Today was a long day. 28km, though it seems my body is fine regardless of distance until the last ten percent. But that seems to be the norm, and we spend our last few kilometers comparing what hurts and helping each other get to the end point. Today we are all tired.
Day 6: Los Arcos, 21.5 km
A short, 22km day. We sailed through, winding up averaging 5km/hr and getting around noon. While my muscles have adapted and are perfectly fine, my joints are not entirely amused. But, that could also have to do with going quite fast. In a very uncharacteristic move, I did not attempt to push on to the next town, 8km away to make tomorrow easier. But instead opted to rest in Los Arcos and push 28km to Logroño tomorrow.
