In 34 days I board a flight to Madrid. I arrive in Spain the next day and the day after that I will begin walking the Camino Frances once again.
I am tremendously excited to once again be fortunate enough to walk this pilgrimage.
This time is slightly different. This time I am walking for donations to The Tucson Wildlife Center. I will post their website once the on-line donation screen is set up for any of my followers who would like to pledge to this wonderful non-profit organization.
It is quite hard to train in the heat of southern Arizona during the summer, but I am forcing myself to complete a 6 mile hike each morning.
I like to walk the unpaved roads just a short distance from my home since I am avoiding the Saguaro National Park (remember I happened upon a diamondback in May in the park).

Some day I hope to own a home in one of these neighborhoods, but that is another topic for some other time.
These roads have homes on generous amounts of property. Many homeowners own horses.
And yappy dogs, but for the most part when I walk these neighborhoods, I don’t encounter other people. That’s probably because they have more sense to stay indoors in the heat!
