After a fairly sleepless night the training must continue. It’s either good training for childbirth (been there, done it) or a walk on the Camino. The day was bright and sunny altho still a little cool. I found myself with good friend Debbie at one of our favorite places to walk – a place called White Rock. It’s a seaside town with many steep hills and staircases. Years ago I began using White Rock as my training ground for a long distance walk called The Great Walk, so what better place to once again build strength and stamina. While there I had Debbie take a picture or two that I could share on this blog. As you may know, I need the practice. So below is the shot taken from the dazzling hillside where our walk began yesterday. The picture does not do the place justice.
We spent a couple hours plodding up and down the hills. With my added weight I was considerably slowed down but Debbie was patient with me and it gave her more of an opportunity to talk as I huffed and puffed my way thru our course.
Once I returned home I got to thinking about my gear and decided to lay it all out and take a picture for future reference. My what a heap it made and that’s not even all of it. I am determined to keep the weight between 15 and 20 pounds. Not so easy when I’m going to Paris for a week after my Camino. Well a girl has to pack a few nice outfits for that doesn’t she? My friend Sue had a good laugh when she heard I had included a couple dresses and a skirt etc. Anyway, captured below is the ever growing accumulation of what I think I need and a few items of what I want. Any suggestions from anyone would be appreciated.
It’s quite a collection is it not?
