We celebrated today's 18 week coundown with our first group walk. Although the rain had been pouring all day - it stopped as we set out on our walk and we had the most brilliant weather. It wasn't too hot, it wasn't too cold....it was just right. We took our first Compostela Bella group photo to be sent off to our friends at Keen to pop up on their website. We also had others join us for the walk. It is open to future Camino walkers or just ladies who want to get out walking. We meet every Monday evening at the SunnySide Branch of the Ottawa library at 6:15pm - walking at 6:30pm. This evening we started with a 1:20 minute stroll and will be increasing the distance and cadence as the weeks pass. Most of us walk with Nordic Walking poles but that isn't a requirement. Recommended are: good walking shoes/boots, water, your smile and team spirit.

I was intrigued that you are preparing for your Compostella pilgrimage by Nordic Walking. I have wondered how many pilgrims actually do that. I posted a bit about your group at http://nordic-walking-usa.blogspot.com/2008/04/canadian-group-nwing-to-train-for.html and I wish you great success and fulfillment
