And We're Off...

SO... ladies and gentlemen, as my placement finishes my second leg of the race starts. I have had an amazing time with the kids at my placement and have enjoyed listening to ALL the successes that have come from others at the house. It truely has been a trip of a lifetime thus far!

Tomorrow our trek begins. We are up at the crack of dawn for a 7 hour bus ride to stop #1 - Beshishar. Communication is very limited and there won't be time for any blogs along the trek but let me reassure you that when we get back, multiple posts and photos will be ready to go.

The trek will include my awesome girlfriend Nicole, her dad, his doctor buddy Dave, our guide and two porters. The highest pass scheduled is Throng-La at a tad under 5500 meters (18,000 feet). I am gitty just thinking about the hike and can't wait to get things rolling, but right now I need to catch some shut eye.

I look forward to catching up with all of you when we get home.

Ps: A huge shout out to Meyrick Jones, Kris Schelderup and the Innovative Fitness team in Port Moody. Your facility looks awesome and business will treat you well. Good luck guys and I can't wait to come check things out.

Nameste!!
