The first day of the new year began exactly as I’d hoped — with a Camino training walk. Just under 9 kilometres, enough to wake the body without asking too much of it. The cold bit hard at the start, that sharp winter chill that makes you question your timing, but before long my rhythm found me and warmth followed.
I wore my new barefoot walking shoes for the first time, and they felt surprisingly natural — comfortable, grounded, and easy, as though my feet were grateful to be invited properly into the journey. Mostly, though, I loved the simple pleasure of stretching my legs again, moving forward with intention. A quiet, steady beginning… and a good way to step into the year ahead.
