We’re now getting into the rhythm of the Camino fairly well, although because we’re only walking short days, we’re not leaving particularly early, generally\u00a0between 9 and 9:30 am.<\/p>\n

Today’s section is about 15 kilometres, which seems to be about as much as Pat can take at the moment.<\/p>\n

I think it’s a good illustration of what can\u00a0happen with little or no preparation.<\/p>\n

It’s not Pat’s fault of course, because she developed p<\/strong><\/em>lantar fasciitis\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>a couple of months before we were due to go on the Camino.<\/p>\n

But because she hasn’t been able to train due to that, she’s suffering now. The plantar fasciitis seems to be under control with medication and stretching, her arthritic knees seem to be under control with knee braces, but unfortunately coming down a steep slope yesterday a little bit too quick, she seems to have developed shin splints in one leg as well!<\/p>\n
