Training hike today for

With what I call "hard and far away" goals, my personal experience is that I need to get excited IN THE HERE AND NOW.

This is because I struggle sometimes to stay motivated for and focused on things further away that don't naturally pull me towards action right now.

But the thing is...if I don't train for base camp in advance and I don't learn about and prepare for things like altitude sickness in advance, I know this could prevent me from getting to base camp. It could also harm my health.

For this reason, I work out with my own coach and my journal what small, accessible and enjoyable things I might just be able to do in the days and weeks leading up to my big, far away thing and then I...just think about my motivation and focus for those things.

That's what today's training hike is all about. Just making myself a little bit fitter and a little bit more confident through something I CAN actually do.

Now, remember we are all different. Our abilities are different. Our goals are different. Our needs and profiles are different. What I want or can do is not something to compare yourself to, just as I wouldn't compare myself to you. However, the process I'm going through here could help you think about what might be of use to you.

As always, take from me what helps and inspires and discard and ignore what isn't relevant to you and you life right now.

I'm very happy, I made a sale on yesterday!

These two my photographs, shot in the Region were purchased in the PicFair's online marketplace. I have a fair collection of photos on this portal for a while, and that include many pics of the world's highest mountain and other peaks of the area.

This was taken well after into early darkness but the of the on the to in are so high that they catch the glow even after darkness has set in. It’s truly unlike any light I’ve seen.
