Antar du tar det med ro siden du ikke har skrevet på en stund. Jeg har også en vond tå, sparket borti noe på hytta, og har nok med det jeg må gå her hjemme! Dag og jeg har vært i byen i dag, det var enstor påkjenning! Håper at tåa di ikke er brukket, men forstuving er også vondt og kan ta lang tid. Uansett: lykke til! Hvordan går det med tåa?

Every book that I have read about people walking the wall get to this point and push themselves to the point of carelessness because the end is finally getting in sight. It appears this is a very tough stretch and you are doing magnificant. But rather than beat yourself up trying to get as far as possible each day, stop and remember you are in a magnificant country with what I can imagine is stunning beauty all around you. So, maybe you could stop a few minutes a couple times each day, take a deep breath and take in the beauty of where you are at the moment, rejuvenate and move on. Really do not want to see you beat yourself up and not finish, these are your last months, so it takes a little longer, enjoy them.

Better rest until it is healed and rather two days too long than one day too short - trying to keep up the speed may slow you down. My guess is that you can easily walk 25 km per day with healthy feet, whereas 20 km per day is difficult with aching feet. And even with a difference of only 5 km per day, it only takes you four days to catch up one day of rest. Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope nothing is broken.

Spray on your foot. Wait 10 minutes. Ready. Fay used this when I had a pulled muscle, and it's amazing. It's a secret recipe of medicinal herbs developed for the military.
