Walking with out stopping.

Yesterday I walked from Triacastella to Sarria a distance of 18km, I put my rucksack on and didnt stop until I arrived. It took three and a half hours. Why did this happen, I ask how did this happen. Im really not sure, many reasons. 1, Sarria is where about 85% of Pilgrims start there walk, some from just before. Maybe it was an attempt to stay ahead of everyone, 2, I had heard rumours that because its Easter and Sarria was full of Pilgrims getting ready to walk that accomodation would be hard to find. That was just not true. (But thank you my family and especially my younger sister for finding me a room anyway).  3. My body is changing, my stamina has grown. Perhaps I am a little stronger. My feet still hurt and my knees still ache, but I seem to be a little more nimble also. Is it a Camino miracle or have I walked my Arthritis into the dust? Today I walked 22.7km with out stopping, so many new pilgrims on the way every bar full. My patience was with me as long as I kept moving. It was actually really up lifting to see so many happy hopefull people Pilgrims on there way. I walked to Portomarin today a lovely, lively town. I do feel good, but perhaps I should try to soak up the new pilgrims excitement. I think it will be difficult, I cant speak for anyone else who has walked from St Jean, but I feel as if I have walked a lifetime of pain and hurt and so many other things away that I do not feel there excitement. But I feel sad that I will soon be finished, and my new Camino friends family will go there different ways. But I do feel content, but as I said sad, pensive perhaps. Returning home will be a test, of everything I have learnt and still need to learn.
