Jo walked the 14 miles to Sahagun today, back wasn't too bad although she still had her pack transported onwards. She is starting to cut back on the pain killers and anti-inflammatories to see how the back holds up, also concerned about the long term effects of the anti-inflammatories.
She booked into a private B&B today and has the luxury of a room to herself where she can relax, listen to her music and stories as well as having a long soak in the bath, plus a chance to catch up on some sleep. Although she looked at the local refugio decided she didn't like the look of it and also felt she just needed some space for herself. She described the difficulty of sleeping with the 'shouting, snoring ad farting' throughout the night. She has decided that it is not how fast you do the walking but the social side of all of the different people that you meet on the way that makes it worth all the effort.
She is hoping to make it to Leon by Tuesday when she will make a decision about whether to go on or to call it a day and make her way home from there. She would like to complete the walk as she feels that she might not be able to convince herself to return to finish it in the future, now she knows what it is like!
Ann reached Malinaseca today after walking about 15.5 miles.
Jo - 257 miles covered, 229 miles to go (see yesterday's map for her location
