Mileage update and info

The data geek in me is keeping track.  We've been 'walking' for 13 days now.  We did 2 days that we actually didn't walk, we took bus. We've hitched short rides, about 2 to 3 miles each, 2 times.

We've walked, based on guidebook not my fitbit,  104.64 miles out of the 257.44 miles that we've covered. 

We have to be in Santiago de Compostela on October 4th.  To receive the certificate, we have to walk the last 100km.  I am planning on giving us 12 days to finish that.  Lots of planning involved and it means we'll be taking bus again later to keep to that schedule.

The issues with my feet have driven this walk more than I would have liked.  I didn't imagine I would be having these kinds of problems.  I have consistently pushed myself even when it hurt terribly, a lesson in that somewhere.  I've had hurdles along the way and one very enlightening phone call with John when we arrived in Comillas that pushed me past my upset. (Thank you so much John  for all your support)  Having a plan and really wanting things to work out that way, can get in the way of life. 

It's great when things work out like you planned, but it can be even greater when they don't. 

Ain't life great!
