Running the Northern Route!

Hi there,

My name is George Young and I'm a new visitor to this site, as well as a first time traveller on the Compostela; I'm an aspiring journalist and writer but The Way of St. James became something I'm really interested in after reading a book by a guy called Paulo Coelho. Being a passionate runner, I've decided that in the second half of May I'm going to run approximately the equivalent of 1000 km in two weeks, whilst blogging my experiences; it's my intention to begin in Irun currently, though that's not cast iron. Yes, that is almost a marathon every day I know! This is a great site and some of the info on the forums has been really helpful, but if any of you guys have advice on the northern route, e.g. best places to see, please do get in touch. Furthermore, if you have any other advice or just want to discuss anything at all whatsoever, don't hesitate to get in touch!

Many thanks,

G

No advice for you, unfortunately, but I must applaud such an ambitious achievement! I'd love to do that one day.

I feel exhausted just contemplating the idea!!

Not sure when you are going to have time to enjoy Spain and contemplate the vicissitudes of life in general!

Plan to spend some time relaxing after the event, recharge the batteries! Only have a one way ticket too. So once I'm all done and inevitably almost dying from the strain, will kick back on the beach and contemplate the meaning of life then . Training going pretty well and picking up all of the necessary gear this week, all getting very real now.
