Its been two weekends without any hikes, we are craving some trail time. For the physical training of this adventure, the gym is a great substitute for the trail when you have to get in some cardio and can't make time for the trails. As you may recall there are 3 parts to this adventure: fundraise, physical fitness and mental confidence/strength. Unfortunately the mental training for all of this has been put on the backburner. We know that we will be most mentally prepared if our heads are clear of stress and worry about: the climb, work, house stuff, condo sale, proximity to family, etc. Wow those things not only fill the mind they fill our time! Without complaining you can imagine that the busy-ness of it all has kept us from the trail. Well we have finally found some time and hope to keep it for the trails and not get sidetracked with work, yard stuff, etc.
For Ryan and I, being outside in the woods, hitting the trails, keeps the clarity in our minds of what is important. I know it may sound silly but after a hike we emerge from the woods feeling more patient and happy. So this weekend we head for the hills. Saturday morning we will be doing Mt. Si. We would prefer a bit more solitude, but I have to go to work in the afternoon so this is the closest hike we can do and get back in time. Sunday Ryan has to work but I get to join the Climb for Clean Air team for a training hike to Little Si. The hike shouldn't be hard but it will be great for meeting other people on this great adventure. Stay tune for pictures and hike reviews.
