\"shoes\"<\/a>
\nB<\/span>ack in August, a buddy and I had what I called “an inadvertent Camino day”<\/a>, where we sort of accidentally walked 25km.<\/p>\n

While there’s no such thing as a “typical” day on the Camino, 25km is a pretty fair shot at it.<\/p>\n

Well, today I intentionally walked 25km with full pack. Francine (who is a couple of weeks behind me in our training regimen<\/a>) walked 20km.<\/p>\n

We started from Pistachio House at just after 8:30AM, and we returned at just after 3:30PM. <\/p>\n

Along the way, we stopped for lunch at a little caf\u00e9 we’d never been to before. I had my by now traditional training lunch of a burger and an IPA.<\/p>\n

In terms of both speed and distance, I hit the marks.<\/p>\n

So how did it go? It was surprisingly easy. There were a couple of times where the pace flagged, and at one point my calves started bothering me. It turns out you really can “walk it off”. Who knew?<\/p>\n

So now that we’re home, I can report that my feet are swollen, but there’s nothing close to a blister. I’m tired and sore, of course, but I could easily do this again tomorrow had I the time.<\/p>\n

When I took off my shoes (pictured above), they were warm enough to briefly steam in the cold air.<\/p>\n

A flagon of cider has largely restored my energy, and I think a shower and a pipe are in order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
