The Crash Course in Fitness Begins


After dealing with a back injury and pneumonia over the past 10 weeks, I've got less than five weeks to return to a semblance of fitness. Today was a good start in my crash course -- I spent about two and half hours bouncing around the forested paths of James River Park this afternoon. It was a great day for hiking, but let me tell you: I am seriously wiped out. If I'm this exhausted after a couple hours of hiking at sea level, how am I going to be able to do longer hikes three miles up on Kilimanjaro?

Looks like I've got my work cut out for me. I wonder how the other Yanks are doing...

I'm always delighted to see others "suffering" from chronic wanderlust . . . a disease best shared with friends. I too am fortunate enough to have a group of travel buddies as a result of a British Isles study tour we took together back in undergrad, though our pocketbooks sometimes limit us to vicarious and/or stateside adventures.

On a technical note, would you mind e-mailing me on how you got your profile photo to appear in your sidebar? I'm new to this whole html thing, having just begun to set a team blog up for my church. klcarlso@email.unc.edu Thanks!
