Yee’s

朝聖的日子跟上班其實沒有什麼差別。朝九晚五變成了朝八晚四、中午午休在茶水間的閒聊變成咖啡廳裡的漫談，而說到下班的疲累，走完一整天的生理疲勞也不亞於此。每天的行程都是非常簡單且規律的——日復一日，在簡單的生活當中嘗試追求心靈上的平靜。

There’s no big difference between work schedule and pilgrimage time. Before you need to start work at 9am and back home at 5, now you start walking regularly at 8am and arrive in albergue at 4pm. Before you always complain your boss in the tea room during lunch break, now you have chatting with other pilgrims in cafe at that time. The physical tiredness you experience is not less than being busy all day in the office. During the pilgrimage, the daily schedule is pretty simple and routine. Day after day, trying to pursue the peace of mind.

在這短短的一個月裡，由人類制定的時間其實不太管用，自然的時鐘會告訴你現在應該要做些什麼。在朝聖的中後期我深受足底筋膜炎所苦，每天除了早晚需要吞止痛藥才能繼續行走之外，腳底傳來的痠疼感每兩小時就會發作一次，不多不少，正是兩個小時。順著這個疼痛感，我的步行漸趨規律，基本上就是行走兩小時、視情況休息15-30分鐘的頻率不斷重複。

During this month, the time which human set up isn’t important, the physical needs would tell you what you need to do at every moment. In my case, I was suffering from plantar fasciitis a lot. I had to take two tablets of ibuprofen for releasing my pain, I also felt the sour from my feet for every two hours, no more or less, exactly two hours. Because of this, my walking schedule is quite routine, basically I’ll take 15-30 mins rest for walking every two hours.

我的步速在年輕人當中算是相當慢的，原因無他，行前訓練不足所致。我的步速約為每小時4.5公里，視情況會有增減。以公里數來說則是如下表：

My walking speeds is pretty slow, comparing to other young pilgrims. The reason is very simple, insufficient training make me walk like a old nanny. Approximately my speed is 4.5 km per hour, basing on the terrain and body condition. the below chart is my average completed hour which depends on the distance.

可以從這張表看出來我也不擅長長距離步行，我聽過不少人一天行走超過40公里，而好朋友偷摸醬曾經一天完成52公里的馬拉松長度。雖然羨慕，但自知未有訓練的情況之下，我的身體最多能承受的距離為35公里，且隔天會直接成為小廢物，只能走25公里的那種小廢物。

This chart shows that I’m not good at long-distance walking. I’ve heard lots of pilgrims could walk over 40km for one day, even my friend Tomo has finished 52km within one day. Though I admire their strength, but I know because of the insufficient training, the longest distance that my body can endure is 35km. Besides, I’ll face physical weakness after the long-distance day, means only 25 km or less for the next day.

一天的行程也相當規律，約莫如下圖

多數朝聖者會在6點至7點之間開始一天的步行，由於我不喜歡跟太多人擠著出門，且從leon之後也都會預定庇護所，所以大多數的時間都是急忙的趕在庇護所八點將人掃地出門之前離開。我大約會在12:30左右開始用午餐及午休，並約在一個小時後開始下午的收尾（通常這時候都特別想停下來）。如表一所示，當天抵達庇護所的時間會依據步行的距離而有所不同，但最晚也會在下午六點以前抵達。

六點以後的時間就在洗衣、晚餐、彌撒以及與其他朝聖者聊天當中度過，而我通常會在晚間十點左右上床。

My schedule is showed above. Mostly pilgrims would start their walking between 6am to 7 am. However, I hate that traffic and crowed feeling and I always booked my accommodation ahead, so normally I start walking at 8am. Becoming the one who almost be kicking out from the albergue. I’ll have my lunch break at 12:30 and continue my journey one hour after. Depends on my expected distance for that day, the time I arrive in albergue would be a bit different. However, no matter how long it is, I’ll finish my walk before 6pm.

The time after arriving albergue would be doing laundering, having dinner, hearing mass and chatting with other pilgrims. At the end of the day, I always go to sleep at 10pm.

這是很無聊的每日流水帳，不曉得有沒有給大家一點概念。最後再重申一次，我是一個很懶且禁不起磨難的朝聖者。我的行程相對別人來說是非常舒適的，如果你是一個強壯且具有豐富戶外經驗的人，相信你會花更短的時間完成更多的里程。

Today’s article is my daily schedule, which is quit boring. I’m not sure have I provided any useful idea for you guys LOL. For the last warm reminder , I’m a lazy pilgrim. Comparing to other’s schedule, mine is very easy and comfortable. If you’re physically strong and have plenty of outdoor experience, I believe you can spend less hours than me but finish even longer distance.
