We both have red <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1MfhVax\" target=\"_blank\">Ferrino trekkers<\/a>, which we purchased before our first Camino in 2013. These things are great, and I can highly recommend them.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to see just how waterproof my pack was, so I didn&#8217;t put on the poncho. As it turns out&#8230; pretty darn waterproof.<\/p>\n<p>Francine just put on her pack cover and called it good.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout it all, we maintained our goal pace of 4kph.<\/p>\n<p>After the hike, we munched on some homemade bocadillos and then ran to the nearest Tulleys for lattes &#8211; the best we could do with no caf\u00e9 con leche available. And then, of course, to a nearby pub to chat with old friends.<\/p>\n<p>In other prep news, we both received our TSA Precheck numbers, so perhaps we can avoid the worst of the airport security lines.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be mailing off the application to renew my passport later this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Francine injured her foot a ways back, and we have not been training as we ought.
