Carry two bags then yours feels lighter

It is amazing how the mind works. My friend Tiffany hurt her knee on the Camino, and once we finished 25km yesterday, the last 7 grueling, the knee gave up. But we were not yet at the hostel and not close to a taxi, so I carried my bag and Tiffany's for the last 2km. Since then my bag hasn't felt so heavy, and 20km is a bit easier.
