I was determined to stick to my target this week and the work week hustle on Fitbit certainly kept me motivated.  The highlight of the week was achieving a 12-mile walk with relative ease, including some steep hills.  We also had the opportunity to ask Jane lots more questions about the Camino and we heard…

I failed dismally this week with my training schedule.  I am so proud of Julie who has kept at it and has easily achieved her step / mile goal this week, but I was the complete opposite.  It got to Wednesday and I started to convince myself that it was ok to have an easy…
