Miles: 18.43/ Steps:40,402

Today’s Selfie:

Today was my hardest day mentally. My heel is in a lot of pain and the idea of quitting crossed my mind a time or two but I am pushing thru and was super happy to make it to the alburgue. I’m too close now to even consider that as an option. That said, I decided to go see the Samos Monastery and honestly I just shouldn’t have because it was an extra 5 miles. The walk was beautiful and the Monastery was divine but my foot was really sore and there were no bars/restaurants that were open on the path so it wasn’t until after I got to Sarria that I realized that I walked the 15 miles without a break and I had to walk throughout the hour tour. I’ve spent the night doing different stretches and using anti inflammatory cream and am hoping tomorrow is much better. I guess all the days can’t be rainbows and daisies. To top the day off, I shattered a bottle of cough syrup all over the floor next to my bed as I was getting ready to go to sleep.
I did get a bottom bunk in the dorm room and clean sheets and no one slept above me so that was a good way to end the evening. 5 days and 70 miles to go. I’ve got this!
