Traffic is up on the Camino de Santiago - ( how much weight I lost & no more knee pain )

I’m wearing the brooks ghost with walk hero insert on the Camino and they’re great.

43 km would be a Marathon, pace yourself Greg!

Interesting about the Iodine.I don't eat much veg, but eat plenty of eggs cheese, some fishl milk, all have loads of Iodine. I am 66 and about 9 years ago i had a blood test which indicated border line under active thyroid, doctor said nought I could do to stop it it's progress. I am quiet healthy, have not been back to the doctors since. have put on a bit of weight, but i put that down to lack of exercise, but I sometime feel so drained of energy . that I don't want to move. have started walking regular, up to 6k 3 times a week. I find I can walk the sluggishness off. Like you I have this feeling in my knees which is like a tightness. Have thought about Iodine supplements, but it does not seen to make sense, when I am getting plenty in my diet. I am 6ft tall and 238pounds although this weight is coming down. I hope I will continue to feel better as I increase my walking. I have been seriously thinking about doing the Camino Francais for some time, ever since watching The Way Movie, but just dismissed it has a dream. but the call of the Camino would not go away, and after watching your videos in particular. I have decided God willing next year, June start, finishing sometime around July 17th on my 66th birthday. I have told my wife and my work that I will be going for about 5 weeks, and no one is going to deter me from going. I have found your videos very useful, and enjoy them. Thank you so much Greg. I will stay tuned over the coming months.

God bless.

John

been following you a bit as got friends currently doing the camino and we have plans for it in 26, but as you said you come to Asia, why don't you have a look at the Te Araroa walk in New Zealand. it might be of interest. cheers stu

Thanks for all the great information you shared over the past several months. It helped my husband and I plan for our Camino. We are currently on the Camino Francés and enjoying it. Greetings from Puente La Reina!

American food is awful. ultra processed . they wash chicken wit cloerine in america. In the EU they ban american milk as its so full of chemicals.
