I have made it past the halfway point.

What can I say about the last five days? The meseta definitely lives up to its reputation. I still have 2 more days before I am out of the meseta, although I'm contemplation making a big push tomorrow and getting it over with. I continue to meet very interesting people with a variety of motivations for doing this pilgrimage. One of note is a graphic design professor from Singapore. She is running the entire distance, averaging about a half marathon a day. Some days more, some less. She is collecting all her data and plans to create a visual representation of her camino with the data. We talked for a long time. We are both obviously interested in the same type of things with endurance sports and visual communication. She definitely got my wheels turning as to what I can do with all the data I have collected through triathlons and training.
