Daily Success for an elderly peregrino is symbolized by this statueDaily Success August 29 is “Failed.”

I have been hiding behind my sciatica and my left knee. Yes, they have made things far more difficult since the knee injury occurred and my sciatica flared up and up as July came to a close, but those are reasons for not walking, not reasons for not living up to my promises to myself.

The truth is that I am adrift since receiving my Compostela. And, possibly, since sometime before that. Since arriving in Santiago? Since joining the Frances? Since beginning to measure the miles and the days only minutes after getting off the bus in Cadavedo?

We will return to at least being honest with the scoring and today, with only 1.6 km yesterday and no stretches or exercises is a failure. Tomorrow is not likely to be a lot better, but it will at least get credit for this daily success post.
