Ok so feeling good and ready to tackle another 20km I continue on from Larrasoana and make my way towards Pamplona!
About an hour in I start to get some knee pain and begin to think why and what is the point of getting there in a hurry? Anyways I continue on realizing today was all about pace and I really didn't stop enough to smell the roses!
I sat by a beautiful river for lunch and whilst cutting up a piece of bread for my lunch I put the knife straight through my pointer finger - pretty bad cut that was pumping out blood! Maybe another sign I should have stopped where I was supposed to!
I continue on and now feel more pain along with my feet getting slightly damp!
By 3pm I make it to Pamplona a total of about 48km in 9 hours! I know I know too much and to prove this my knee seazes up at the very end and I am forced to a hobble (this also happened to me in the Atlas Mountains on my decent from Mount Toubkal)
I arrive to beautiful Pamplona and the 7 Jesus Albergue where you get a bed for. €7!
I take my shoes off to find two small blisters and my little toe has been blood filled under the nail (have also had this before which results in loss of toe nail).
So now I am hobbling around with blisters all because of my ego!
I needed to teach myself this lesson to remind me why I am doing this walk and it's not to finish first but enjoy every step!
Saint James guides me on this trip and my body will tell me how far I can go :)
