Finding my pace/and my Space

This Camino so far has been emotionally and physically very tough. I am still trying to get into the swing of things still trying to feel my way physically and emotionally. I know that my mental health in one way or another will bring its own set of rules and baggage, that sometimes seemingly I have no control over. Physically I have been left wondering, considering the issues I’m facing if I have taken on more than is possible. Yesterday was a very long physically hard and challenging day. Some of the walk for me any way had some minor technical challenges, I am finally beginning to work around or adapt to these situations. I have accepted that my walking days will be between 8 to 10 hours. That is ok. At least while the weather is ok, I can sit out on the Camino wherever I want rest wherever I want, preferably where I don’t have to sit on the ground that’s hard to get up from. Today I took a taxi 20 odd kilometres to a town called Los Arcos, tomorrow I could walk to Vianna but yesterday made me realise that I can walk the distances. Its 6 days until Burgos, I have decided to walk for the next 6 days and see what I’m capable off what’s achievable. Today the woman at the Hotel I left wished me Buen Camino in El Taxi. Lol. It struck home, off course she is not to know what I’m dealing with, but if I don’t start this Camino I might as well come home.
