KG Tris #115: 4/30/12 - Marathon Training Update

Once a couch potato, now a 4th year age grouper triathlete, Kelownagurl talks about her goals, her training, and her life in general in hope of providing encouragement and inspiration to other "average" people who have always dreamed of doing something they never thought possible. Her motto is "It's never too late to be what you might have been" ~ George Elliot (running, swimming, cycling, biking)

In this episode, Erik and I talk about a typical day on the Camino, discuss various types of accommodation you might find along the route, and talk about our plan for walking the 800km walk in May 2016. We mention a book called A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino de Santiago  by John Brierley.  Here is a link to further info about the author.
