5 weeks and counting

5 weeks to go. I’m adjusting my gear based on what is and isn’t working. Aussie hat out. Wide brim with vents in. Compression hiking socks out, merino crew socks in. I’d prefer hikers rash not on my whole calf, thank you.

Cell food and Vitamin B in. Ibuprofen in. Turmeric in. Ok wait a minute. What can I buy in Portugal? I’m limited to a carry on, into which I can stuff my backpack, and one personal item. I will have bag transport service while underway but not until then. More adjustments coming.

I barely managed a 10 mile walk this weekend and have to do it again tomorrow despite the ache and stiffness. The fear of my body not being up to it is real. The fear is real. Probably not the thought underneath the fear. I was reminded of the value of tapping to help clear out the source of stuck emotions and faulty thoughts. That’s part of my practice this week, added to steps and stretches.
