In training...

So I've heard of people training for marathons so that they have something to work towards instead of just the day to day workout. Well, I hate running, so there is no way that I would ever train for a marathon.

BUT, there is this really cool place an hour from our house called Havasupai Falls. From what I have seen (pictures) and heard it beautiful and I'm dying to go there. Here's the kicker... It is a 10 mile hike down into the Supai Village (you can't drive) and then there are trails you can follow to the falls. And then you have to hike yourself back out. You can also take a helicopter down in or back up... but that would be expensive and defeat the purpose of me training.

So here's the plan. I am going to go on the hike in April 2011 and will need to be physically prepared to be able to complete it. I am making a goal to go to the gym 4 days a week minimum, preferably 5 days. I have been working on cardio as well as strength training and will continue to do that.

So, I am training to hike to Havasupai Falls!!! I'm really excited. :)

So I've been working at my new job for the last two weeks. It has been great to get out of the house and spend some time with adults again. I haven't been working the schedule I will work once I am done training, so my schedule has been kind or erratic, which has made it hard to get to the gym. But, I did manage to make it there three times this week. It has been so nice going back to the gym. I haven't started to see the results yet, be I am starting to feel them while I'm working out. I have been able to adjust the machines and make it a little harder w/o feeling like I might die. I'm looking forward to getting on a normal schedule so that I can just know when I go to the gym instead of trying to fit it in somewhere.
