Starting to get ready...

This past Monday I finally decided it was time to start getting ready for our Kilimanjaro trip. I can hardly believe that there is less than 6 months to go before we leave.

I think what has finally encouraged me to get my butt in gear is that Devin has been doing the Grouse Grind quite regularly recently and I have been doing next to nothing.

I decided to get myself started by following a 12 DVD program that I bought years ago which I have picked up and started numerous times but never completed. I am determined to complete it this time. It is called P90X and it cycles through the videos 6 days a week for 90 days. For the first three weeks, the same videos get repeated:

Monday - Core Synergistics

Tuesday - Cardio X

Wednesday - Shoulders & Arms plus Abs X

Thursday - Yoga X

Friday - Legs & Back plus Abs X

Saturday - Kenpo X

Sunday - rest or Stretch X



Monday I did the video after work but I have decided now that it would be better to wake up early in the morning since it it cooler outside and it get done at a time when I am not likely to plan anything else (there are so many distractions after work). Yesterday and today I did the video at 5:30 am. While it was hard to get out of bed, I am sure I will get use to it soon.

This coming weekend we will be attempting to climb Mount Baker again and I have been hoping and praying that my ankle will hold up well enough to at least get me up to the base camp area. I am still not sure that I will be able to make the summit attempt. I just need to wait and see how I feel after hiking for a few hours up to camp.
