8d Barcelona Roses , 8 Roses HI BCN20

Friday 2020Jan11. Planning 31km, +0m up, -0m down, 8h. Details below. (En anglès, perquè espero que tingui continuació internacional.) *** This is part of a longer route, together with previous or future walks which have "BCN20" in the title, meaning "from Barcelona, year 2020". Could be continued with "BCN21" etc. ***
!This was my last walking day. I had planned to walk every day and reach Montpellier on 2020Feb01, but after returning from the walk from Barcelona to Mataró, I had a foot pain, that reappeared during the following days. The first days, I noticed it only during the first steps after very long breaks (also when getting up in the morning), but later it also occurred sporadically during walking. I didn't see a doctor. Symptoms were as described for peroneal tendinitis pain. Got better during 1½ weeks of rest, with only short slow city walks. Then worse after a fast 3km city walk. Now (Jan26) getting better again!

I used a printout of this route from Wikiloc user Marc Puntunet: https://ca.wikiloc.com/rutes-senderisme/lescala-portbou-etapa-1-lescala-roses-31438079
