And So It Begins!

"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go." T.S. Elliot



My grand adventure started with a brief email titled, "Kili!!!"

A group from Helen's gym is climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in February, 2013. Five minutes and four pages of information later I was registered for info night. First Lobster (my husband) was already not impressed I was considering a three week trip to the "dangerous middle of no-where".

Info night has come and gone. No discussions scared me off and my credit card has since been dinged for the deposit.

I have stepped out of my box and will be climbing the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. ME! I am horribly excited and scared "poopless" at the same time. What was I thinking?

So far I have started going to the gym more regularly than before (of course, even once in a row is more regularly the before!)

I am posting this picture of Kilimanjaro on the fridge and on my wall at work. Might as well start visualizing now.

Oh, a visit with the sport psychologist is included in the training...I think I'm gonna need it!
