The response to my letter was so encouraging! I even had a friend make the first donation to the American Heart Association! Thank you, Jason, for your help and your encouragement!I spoke with Alexandra and she is over the moon about me finally making the committment in such a public way. There's no backing out now! She and I also discussed the possibility of me going up there to Utah to do some hiking with her. That way we can work out the kinks of hiking together. I sure hope we can make that happen.
Temperatures here in the Valley are reaching up into the 110+'s. That makes it almost impossible to hike during the day. I'm afraid that I would end up on the news as one of those dummies that gets exhausted and can't make it back down the mountain. Believe it or not, it happens!
Alexandra also told me that I had some visitors to my blog and I want to thank you for that. I haven't quite figured out how to keep tabs on such a thing, but she is savvy and is helping me do what I can to figure that out. If you are following, please sign the visitor log and let me hear from you. Share my blog or donation site with all your friends and family, so they can help me with my goal!
I am headed to the gym this morning for what they call Saturday Seminar. They basically set up about 3 or 4 stations and the trainers are at each one kicking your beehiney into action. I have let that go for the past month or so and its time to recommit. By the way, the gym I go to is Pure Fitness and the trainer that has really made a huge difference to me personally is Shane. He hails from Michigan but came out here about 6 months ago. I think he gets homesick, but he's good at his job, shows no mercy and takes no excuses. Which is what I need!
That's all I have for now. Please click on the heart above if you haven't yet and give to a worthy cause.
Remember, I am doing this hike for you!
