TRAINING DAY COMPLETED

-

Today was a big training and preparation day as for the first time I set out to climb two of the three mountains in my Triple Crown trio- East End of Rundle and Ha Ling Peak. Great news, as I successfully climbed both of them in about 6 hours. Being able to accomplish this gives me more confidence that I can add another peak into the line-up and complete the climb of all three in one day next week.

   

From here to the climbing day, likely next Tuesday or Wednesday, I’ll not do any intensive training and let my body recover and be ready for what still will be a long challenging day. It will be all worthwhile as together we will Challenge MS and make a difference.

I am pleased to say that I am back at ground level, having just completed the Triple Crown for MS Climb.  I am at the start of the Ha Ling trail, which for me is the end of an 11.5 hour day.  I climbed 3 mountains, up and down, all safely. Today was about raising funds and awareness for a cause that is near and dear to my heart.  I thank everyone who has supported me along the way.

More on that later. FUNDRAISING UPDATE. As of now, we are at $20,710 which exceeds the original fundraising goal but leaves us with a little over $9,000 to reach the new goal of $30,000. I’m confident we still have some potential contributors who have not had a chance to click on “Donate” just yet so I believe we still have a great shot of reaching the goal and making an even bigger difference for some people. MS INFORMATION. My sister shared a thought with me the other day which caused me to pause. Faye said what a difference it may have made in our mother’s life and outcome if she had access to some of the treatments which are available today for people w

A beautiful morning.  8:20 am and I am standing at the summit of Windtower.  The sun is shining and there is a nice light and welcome breeze.  I had the trails all to myself this morning - no people and no critters.     I will see you in about 4 hours from the top of East Rundle
