Patsy training for the Camino

Here is Patsy starting her training for the Camino. Actually, she has been training on her new bicycle for some weeks now and going to the gym for months. Now we are doing more serious specific training. This trail is a half mile from our house and has about a one mile loop. We like it.

You can see that Patsy is using trekking sticks. She says she can hardly walk without them now and she has only been using them about two weeks. They do make walking easier and their use seems to be very natural with little learning required.

We are also bicycling more just to improve our endurance. I am still doing the cycling classes at the Y and lifting weights, but I am hiking places, sometimes with my pack.
