i just accepted the biggest challenge of my life, thus far. i'm going to spend the next 5+ months getting in the best shape ever, physically and especially mentally, for an outdoor climb. in Europe. with a guy who will not under any circumstances let me slack or throw in the towel.
i will not be climbing into an elevator again, anytime soon; it'll be stairs all the way. (that'll be awesome fun on the days i grocery shop, living on the fourth floor as i do.) i will need a very regular gym schedule, and cardio will entail a treadmill set at the highest incline, and a weighted pack on my back. as for the rock gym, just making it to the top of the easiest routes will be child's play; if i'm to have the strength and cajones (figuratively speaking) to climb outdoors in actual MOUNTAINS, i damn well better be able to do just about anything in that rock gym, including the up the wall-across the ceiling-down the other wall thing.
hear me roar.

ReplyDeletethanks for being a follower! i can't wait to FEEL my progress. lol right now i'm actually a little winded by the time i get up to the fourth floor of my building, and how pathetic is that?

What exactly are you climbing in Europe?!! I'm assuming it's not going to be one of those Julie Andrews floating up the hillside kind of climb. I can't wait to hear about it! If you need a walking buddy, let me know!!
