On the first day of my pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago I had to remove 3kg from my bag and send them to a friend cause my back was hurting so much after only 2h of walk π
Started the walk with 15kg on my back! All this because my aunt before I left for the walk, told me that at the army beginners start training with 20kg! So I thought I could make it but pilgrims on the walk got mad at me saying that for a pilgrimage you are supposed to walk lightly to free the mind and body... Opposite of me, was hurting, getting mad at the weight and almost crying π
It was a great teaching to begin my cleansing π
Afterwards I learnt that men are not supposed to have more than 10kg in their backpack and woman 8kg... I finished my walk with 12kg π After 3 days my body started building up and ended up almost not feeling the weight, as if the weight of my problems were disappearing while I was walking πͺπΌβπΌ
