The Drive to Finish

The first few days on the Camino were difficult to say the least, however, as the numbers on the road markers got smaller and smaller.... I could feel Santiago calling me closer and closer. After countless miles with a 40 lb pack(not to mention the many mountains in the way) I was spurred on by the shear desire to complete the Journey my friends and I had started four days earlier. Its not that I wasn't tired. Trust me, we were all tired. Despite our exhaustion and a few minor injuries, we made fantastic time that last day. We were driven to complete our journey. Motivation like that is something that I have struggled with my whole life. After the Camino I feel like I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. I just hope that you who are reading this will find new motivation in your life and the endurance required to complete your own Camino. -Andrew
