[Gocamino] The distance

[Sue Kenney]

Judy,

I think you will be fine. I walked that route in 29 days. I walked without 
rushing through the journey. Rather it was
in the early winter Nov/Dec and it was often cold. This gave me the 
incentive to continue walking as a way to stay warm. I found myself slowing 
down when I neared Santiago since I didn't want the journey to end.
Be sure to do your walking with a backpack. My advise would be to walk less 
but do it everyday increasing the weight on your back. That way your body 
becomes accustomed to the idea of walking all the time. I leave October 1st 
to walk 220kms and I am walking everyday now.

If you have any other questions I'd be happy to help out.
