How a 250+ Pound Couch Potato Got Healthy

Sunday, June 10, 2007

I've been having trouble sleeping tonight. I always get this way right before leaving for a vacation, wondering what I've forgotten. I did get a reprieve, though, because my cell phone rang and someone from work needed help. Normally I'd shove it onto someone else, but this was a guy who's in the Phillipines on a family emergency. His problem, come to find out, was that he had changed the time on his computer but not the timezone. Yay! Greg saves the day!

Pastor Rob put a little bug in my ear about wanting a shakedown hike on Tuesday and hiking to Half Dome on Wednesday. I still want to go on Tuesday, but if Bob agrees with Rob, we'll go ahead and wait until Wednesday. Not that it would be the end of the world, but this has been a long time coming. I'm itching to go up!

Either way, I'm excited. Excited and nervous; I know I can make it to the top and back, but I'm still nervous about how my poor body will feel before it's over. I suppose that's normal.

So those are my thoughts at 11:30 the night before heading to Yosemite. When I get back, I should have a picture like this of myself... see that little cave below where the person's standing? People actually hang out there. I won't be that daring. Cheers.
