This blog was set up to record the preparations (both mental and physical) of two middle-aged guys for the Camino Santiago Compostela Pilgrimage.
For more than 1,000 years, Christian knights and pilgrims have walked this path across the Northern coast of Spain. The route we will take, the Camino Frances, begins in St.-Jean-Pied-de-Port, France and crosses the Pyrenees into Spain, traversing 480 miles on foot to the Compostela.
We plan to make the pilgrimage in the summer of 2009. Between now and then, we will use this blog as a forum to keep us focused and to help us prepare. Hopefully, it will be enjoyable to read as well. If you have made this pilgrimage, or know anyone who has, we would love to hear from you!
As for the name of the blog, it is no secret that we could both stand to lose a few pounds. Perhaps a 500-mile walk is just what the doctor ordered!
Audentes Fortuna Iuvat!
