Our training ground continues to be Scott's Run park in McLean. The last week has not lead to much real outdoor training just a few sessions in the gym so we are working to correct this. Today we did 9.5 miles with a total assent 420 meters in about 4 1/2 hours. My pack weighed 15 pounds and David's 16 pounds.
We are actually training in weather that is warmer and more humid ( 85 degrees and above) than we anticipate having in Spain. If one believes the weather patterns we can expect the following:
Daily temp Avg Max
Sept Pamplona 64 76
Sept Logrono 66 78
Sept Burgos 60 73
Oct Leon 53 62
Oct Ponferrada 55 64
Oct Leon 53 62
Oct Santiago 56 64
So we have now also revised our packing list as far as clothes go. We plan to start hiking from Roncesvalles in the Pyrenees on September 1 and our plane home from Bilbao is on October 18th.
