60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday: 5 Weeks 500 Miles Walking Camino.

Hello, to listening in Madrid, Spain!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.

Every year at this time I retrace my footsteps across the Camino de Santiago: 5 weeks, 500 miles, on foot, a pilgrimage that split my life into Before Camino and After Camino.

It took me 48 hours to arrive at my Camino departure point. A flight from California to New Jersey and on to Madrid, Spain, a bus across Madrid to the station for my train to Pamplona, a taxi to the albergue where I stayed overnight before another bus trip across the border to St. Jean Pied de Port, France, and a final overnight before I actually set foot on the Camino.

I felt exhausted, uncertain, anxious. I wondered if my pack was too heavy, my boots sturdy enough, my courage available. They say the only way to know Camino is to walk; with no options left to me I set out in the rain for whatever was next.
