I look at my calendar and there's a date staring at me.
May 25 That's the day I start walking the Camino Norte from Santander. After about 6 days on the northern route, I'll pick up the Camino Primitivo and follow this path to Santiago. The Primitivo route is the oldest of all the routes -- the original and most challenging. Am I ready? Well, as I write this, I'm sitting in a kitchen waiting for my students to finish setting up for their dinner tomorrow night. It seems as though teaching college this term has taken up most of my free time. Well and then we just emerged from a winter that was bitter cold and very snowy. Getting the motivation to walk in subzero weather on icy/snowy sidewalks proved to be difficult. So here I am, less than 7 weeks out from walking the camino and no, I'm not ready. But am I worried? Maybe a little. It will be challenging. So now is the time to hunker down and get moving and maybe get creative with the training. The rainy, muddy spring in Montana should prepare me well for a potential rainy May on the camino. Now it's time to continue walking. Oh and make sure I keep up with grading. Buen Camino!
