Training Starts-Sept. 24, 2009

Preparing to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro next summer-I have made it up Half Dome in Yosemite, Mt. Whitney and Pikes Peak, but am thinking this will be a whole other level! Did 15 minutes on the stairmaster at the gym, hiked the trails at Torrey Pines State Reserve.

Climbing a mountain reminds me of so many other things - for instance, my husband and I attended our last back to school night on Tuesday. Our 11th at that high school! Raising three daughters has certianly been a joy and an adventure - no stairmaster would prepare me for it =)

this is a former house plant that I tired of, I didn't want to throw it out, so I dug a hole for it in the dog yard. It's thriving despite me.
