Aching Feet

Hi everyone,

So I just wanted to let you know that I made it! I arrived in Point Edward at my Nana's house around 4:15pm on Sunday October 30th. The last day of my pilgrimage was easily the most daunting, both physically and mentally. I will be posting relevant information on the blog in some consequent posts. Just wanted to update the status to completed.

I would say that it was made safely, but that would be a lie. I greatly underestimated the arduousness of the journey and my body is not in a very functional state right now. My feet are in miserable shape, covered in blisters and they were bleeding by the time I arrived in Point Edward. The pain paled in comparison to the mental barriers I passed along the way and everything was made acceptable upon my arrival.

Feet after cleaning...they were bloody before

I walked roughly 30 kilometers a day in 6 hour stretches with one 15 minute break on the first two days. The third day was made in one straight shot because I was fearful that any sort of break would alter my momentum and I would not have been able to finish. Overall, the ordeal was worth it, as I was able to finally have time to visit with my grandmother.

More to come shortly.
Much love
