Claire writes: “It’s just over 2 years since I set off from Santander to walk The Camino. If you’re a follower of blogs or my books you’ll know that I sustained an injury.  I still finished that walk, though!  And for two years I have been committing to walk the Portuguese Camino solo starting 1st September 2024.

I’ve told lots of people I’ll be doing it. As if that would make it happen! Because I haven’t been training. My foot still twinges even after 5 miles, I have walked a lot less, and am 10kg heavier than I was for the last walk. I am not in the least bit walk-fit – especially if I am to walk alone.  

Then at the beginning of August, a month before I was pretending I was planning to set off, I was finally honest and acknowledged out loud that I am not fit enough to do a solo walk in Portugal this year. What a relief!  It’s interesting to notice that having given up the impossible, I am focused on what I can do! And I am fitter, walking more and am 6kg lighter.”
