The aches and pains continue with the exception of my feet which are now hardened to the point where I hardly need footwear. The soles are solid enough to stick a pin into them without me noticing and the upper feet look "glazed" where the sandals touch them. I haven't used boots in over a week. However, my shoulders are currently the weakest point and are extremely painful, in fact for the first few km I have to hold the weight of the sack with my hands behind me. My sternum also feels like it is going to part company. Just as painful but more amusing are my ankles which despite me taking my weight off them at night continue wanting to walk and sometimes do without me asking them to! My inner thighs are in tatters and look like the crispy skin on a fried chicken. All difficult and painful but no show-stoppers, I hope! Yes, I know... Tighten the f&£? Up! See I said it before you all did!
