Climb for a Cure

I work with a patient who is elderly and has macular degeneration. She told me when she was informed she would lose her sight several years ago, she went through a period of anger and mourning.. Until she had a woman tell her to "pull up your boots by your bootstraps and get on with life!". That comment made me smile.. She has no idea how applicable those words can be to so many of us!

Training is going pretty good so far! It is early on, but I am finding consistency is key and difficult. On the days when I don't want to go into the gym, I remind myself that the only way to achieve my goal of getting to the top of Kilimajaro is with a lot of training and now I am accountable since I have told people I am doing it... :)

I also tried snowshoeing this past week. If you've never tried it before, I would recommend it. It seems pretty easy at the time, but afterwards you can definitely feel the burn!
