Camino Countdown: 3 months 1 week 1 day

It looks like September will be a busy month on the Camino. The fact this is a Holy Year and that people have been anxiously awaiting entry into Spain will make for quite a rush. The U.S. will be allowed into Spain as of June, 7.

Training has been slow lately; motivation is lagging, we’ve had many rain days + I visited family in Joplin for a couple of days. I’ve only walked 26.4 miles since May 7.

On another note, this evening is Day One of the Spanish Immersion class at JCCC. More to come on that. I’m a little nervous.
