I am tired of waiting. It is two years since I committed to walk the Camino. I have wanted to walk it for years but September 2012 was the first date chosen. I was hoping to walk with a friend who was walking that year. It did not work out so I made a firm decision, in fact my New Years resolution that I would definitely walk in September 2013. BUT I did not take David into the equation. David thought I was mad, "who wants to walk 800+ km on a spiritual walk?" His favorite saying was "someone is crazy and it's not me" whenever I mentioned the walk. I then rather cleverly, suggested that he attend a talk to be given by my Camino friend. I told him he needed to know a bit more about this mad idea of mine. Well guess what? David caught the bug and I now think he is as or even more enthusiastic than I am. Unfortunately David did not feel he could be away from work for 2 months in 2013 so once again my Camino was delayed. But now, third time lucky and I am booked to go.
I wish I could go tomorrow. I feel ready to go now. I feel like I have been waiting and preparing for so long. It will be 2 1/2 years since deciding to walk, to actually be leaving. I am scared that it will be more taxing than I am expecting. Will I manage to walk about 25km every single day? Will I get bored, give up or even hate it once I get there?
