Getting Serious
Submitted: Wed, 15 Jul 2009 | Views: 49 | 1 comments
Well..its for real now! Even though I have been commited (To the trip not the hospital) for some time now it has just been since last week that the "Planning" to go has been remove and replaced with..."We are booked".
Now the hard work begins. I had already started my training during the winter months with some light weights and alot of snowshoe hiking. I dropped from 203 lbs to 174lbs. Since then I fell off the wagon and gained a bit back. Today after 3 days with a 40 lb backpack and alot of stairs, my legs know I am serious! So now with books, maps, highlighters and the internet, the details are being sorted and options investigated....We know we are doing the Annapurna Circuit but what to do for our big finish?? Hmmmmm how about raft down the river to end up in a jungle safari at the Chitwan National Park....tigers, elephants, rhino etc. Yes! lets get serious.
