Day Three 29km Palas del Rei-Arzua

One foot in front of the other.
There are blisters, bruises, sore joints and crazy fatigue on our longest day. Hiking the entire stage without rushing kilometers on this longest trek still became a dig-deep kind of day even without the running.

Scenery and symbols filled our day with impressive Celtic designs, symbolic saints and iconic demons as-well-as delightful dragonflies and friendly dogs. I'm incredibly grateful for the tough long terrain nudging me to slow-it-down and take it all in.

Asking a Canadian pilgrim her secret to persevering  28 days on the trail the answer was simple: I put one foot in front of the other. That was our motto and power for the day.  Brain: off. Feet: on. One step at a time.

Buen Camino- baby steps or leaps and bounds just keep putting one foot in front of the other.
