Confidence and Ego

Well unfortunately both took a bashing yesterday coming down from Cruz de Ferro. Dropping a 1000metres was difficult, the paths were very difficult not a single flat surface anywhere for most of the journey down. Even though this is not a race it was difficult to watch so many people pass me so quickly. My arthritic knees were not happy. Especially my left knee. After a month of walking it shook me a bit to think that I had found a section of the walk more difficult than what had come before. So now  tomorrow we start the climb upto O cebreiro. I have asked around and its nothing that I havent done before. Its just a little tougher. I call into question my confidence at this point. But not just because Im doing the walk climb. But because I will be sharing a dorm, nothing wrong with that either I know all the people. I guess its just me allowing old fears to surface,but if I mentalise all of this its not a problem at all just my head being difficult. Breathe, relax have faith in myself.
