I am officially 7 days through my trek to Santiago.
For those of your who don´t know, about the Camino de Santiago here is a bit of background info.
I have been diligently trekking 25 km per day with my 22lb backpack. Let me assure you it is no easy feat, despite what you CrossFitters might think. It requires an unbelievable amount of mental toughness. I truly believe that. I have no doubt that overall this will make me a stronger person in every sense of the word. So far the north of Spain has been absolutely breathtaking. The weather is dry and hovering around 32 degrees Celsius.
A typical will begin with waking up at 6:00am and having a quick breakfast. By 6:30am my backpack is packed and ready to go. I will generally be done walking by around 2-3:00pm in the afternoon. By that time the sun begins to be unbearable. Let´s just say I am roasting nicely. I will sometimes take an afternoon nape to recuperate from the 8 hour trek. I will then have a huge supper since It´s impossible to eat enough day to day. My legs are always ridiculously sore. . So far I have not been able to upload and pictures but I will try to get a couple just to touch base.
I am planning to finish the trek in approximately 30 days which is actually quite fast.
Hopefully the Montreal summer is treating you well.
Thanks,

Watch out for Ninjas! ;)
Keep it up Johnny.
I hear that there are bears around there too!
sounds like fun this hike... enjoy!
Its a lot of fun, the exact opposite of any CrossFit workout. Its slow, drawn out not not very intense at all...Talk about a change up.
change is good from time to time ;) Enjoy it.
