Los Arcos to Logroño to Nájera

When your body is challenged...

So I am still walking with my friend from West Virginia and we have now done three 30 km days in a row. Tonight, I am simply glad that we decided to share a private room out of the Albergue. I like the Albergues but you don't have any privacy, I have not slept great and there is little space to organize your stuff.  So this is beyond a treat, I might just be in heaven. I actually had a shower and a nap before dinner. It made planning for the next few days a lot easier.

So to back up a bit, I had a Crossfit moment a couple of days ago. We decided to do a mountain scenic trail versus the flatter more km trail. The views were spectacular and worth the extra effort. While coming down one particular section it was very steep and lots of rocks. I just got into a rhythm and it was kind of like solving a puzzle. I was flying down the mountain. When we were done I felt like I had just done a Crossfit workout. It was amazing and super exhilarating. Here is the picture:

So I don't know why but there are not a lot of vegetables served with meals so I have taken to the salad for lunch whenever I get chance. It also has good protein as well.

Today, was by far, the most difficult day yet. Although we were grateful that the day was a little cloudy and it rained only a little bit. The wear and tear on your body is a lot. I do have blisters, I have a bit of heat rash and my feet ache at the end of the day, so each step to where you can finally rest, is painful. 

I had to take this picture to show I have walked over 183 Km so far. The Camino from St Jean is 776 km 

That all for today. I am going to sleep peacefully and sleep in until 6:15 am
