2 weeks & 1 day to go.....

After I finish work today I only have 7 more days of work left....John has 9 days....

Every time I think about going away it frightens me just how quickly this pilgrimage has actually crept up on us....for so long it was in the very distant future & really only a dream....now it's about to become a reality

We're pretty much organised equipment wise....just have to get our heads around it now......especially our first day of walking.....there will be mostly uphill....for 26.5 kms...could make or break us!!!

Had a cortisone injection in my right heel last Friday....hopefully to "cure" the plantar fasciitis" which has been a scourge to my preparation....amazing just how painful the bloody thing can get.

Now we just have to worry about blisters.........

You'll be right Mum, you're pretty determined to do this one way or another. Hope you're bags aren't too heavy.

Woohoo... getting close now. I truly hope that cortisone shot does the trick for settling that troublesome heel of yours. Do you really have to do 26.5 on the first day?? Good grief there is no easing into it is there?

You know where we are if it ´breaks´ you but for your sake i hope we don´t see you.

Enjoy your final preparations. x

How time flies? Bag packed and unpacked a few times to eliminate the unnecessary 'goods'.But I suspect your pills to be the bulk of luggage ! ! Blink your eyes and the time will be here. Exciting stuff. when you have planned for so long. See you before you depart. Much love
