Climb for a Cure

I was told that if you can climb the Stillwater Steps 20 times with your pack on you are ready for the climb.. On Saturday I climbed them 20 times and on Sunday I climbed them 10 times and by Sunday night my calf muscles were so sore I could barely walk! But, the good news is I can do it :)

The trip is drawing near and with last minute purchases and preparation, training is actually getting more difficult to stay consistent with. So much to do to prepare for the trip! I will start my Typhoid vaccine tomorrow, which must be completed 3 days before I start the malaria vaccine which must be started 1 week prior to leaving.. So many things to keep straight its no wonder I'm starting to forget some things! I have lists everywhere and gear laid out. My dining room is now a packing and sorting room. So much fun! The excitement is building!
