2 Pairs 4 Feet!

4 feet that belong to these 2 faces, will be walking many miles in pursuit of a dream, but not just one dream, its for many people that have dreams but need to see that they can achieve them no matter what. Its believing that what ever you put your heart to can be done.
I guess you wondering what we are up to right.
My dream has been to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, this year we will be doing it. Nothing will stop me from climbing a mountain that Peeps out at Africa.

On Saturday 30 January 2010 we had our first meeting with our personal trainer, who says "His job is to get me up, my job is to walk". And this was my favorite part, He said "I get to play and have fun" Wow, how else to view this entire journey. Playing and having fun on a mountain :)

GREEN FOOD :)

Supporting my body for this journey is key, so am starting with some nutritional green stufff...........

"WHAT IT IS - Barley grass (Hordeum vulgare) is the seedling of the barley plant. It is usually harvested about 200 days after germination, when the shoots are less than a foot tall.

NUTRITIONAL VALUE - A concentrated source of nearly three dozen vitamins and minerals, barley grass is particularly rich in vitamins A, C, B1, B2, folic acid, and B12; calcium; iron; potassium; and chlorophyll. Unlike most plants, barley grass provides all nine essential amino acids (those which your body can't produce)."

The first steps are.........

I guess today was a day to remember in the sense that, it was a step again in the direction of this dream I get to live out.
I spoke to someone who is willing to help me walk this dream out. He is as excited as I am! It was a feeling of "wow this could actually work" and "what am I thinking"

But the more I ponder it the more my heart races for the challenge and the more I realise nothing is out of reach if we put our minds and our hearts to it!

Watch this space as you journey with me to the top of a mountain!

Adventure on the Edge

" There is equally little doubt that mountaineering today takes what it has always taken: Courage, the ability to endure and the triumph of the mind. It is a curious fact, I think that the real beauty, drama and interest of mountaineering is not the mountains themselves, not even the physical aspect of their conquest but what goes on in the mind of men and woman who climb the far peaks. No- one sees further, clearer, deeper than those whose life is hanging by fingertips on the edge of the abyss" - Jon E Lewis.
