I Booked the Tanzania Trip

I just finished listing to this awesome 70s mix that was made ages ago (back in 2002 I think) for a 70s party I had....gotta' have another one of those soon.

So I don't think I shared with you that I'm turning 40 this year. As part of my reward for my mid-life crisis I've decided to trek Mt. Kilimanjaro. To train for it, I decided to train for a half marathon. I was chatting with one of my running coaches yesterday, he's done the trek. After, I thought to myself - I wish I hadn't asked. He was fine on the trek (he's a marathoner) but apparently the wife of the couple he was treking with was "oozing blood from every orifice" - yuk. He did go on and say it "self corrected" itself once she returned to a reasonable altitude. He also said I would be fine since I'm a runner (ya right soccer player but not a runner - I have them fooled already).

I guess I'll have to tell my traveling companions to get on the cardio asap....they've been slacking. Oozing blood from every orifice will definitely be a motivating factor. Maybe we'll have to plan a trip to BC and hike some ski hills - ya that's a good excuse.

Say safe out there and don't forget to "spring" your clock ahead this weekend.

  1. Wow! -- That sounds like a challenge. I would have loved to join you but I've booked my holidays for the year. When are you going?

    Cheers ... John
