Day 1

Let me start off by saying, last night, in an order to become a little bit more active and jump off my training, I walked the 4 flight of stairs to my car in the garage rather than take the elevator... well, it might as well been 40 flights of stairs the way my heart was pumping...

We have a lot of training to do.

I'm fighting off some sort of ears/nose/throat virus (was checked by the doctor yesterday) and was told to rest... so clearly, not gym training today!

But instead, research on Half Dome. I found this below link from Yosemite's NPS website. A great little video with a really pretty ranger.

A few people have expressed interest in doing the hike. But we have a year to go, so we'll see how that all goes. This Sunday, I plan on waking early to try to make my Housekeeping Camp reservations which is were I want to be staying for this grand adventure. Perfect accommodations :)

This is the closest I've ever gotten to touching Half Dome. In a few days over a year, that will change!
