We will be trekking, climbing by the weekend. Kilimanjaro. It's happened quite randomly...it was never in my mind to climb this mountain...it's africa's highest, world's highest freestanding and also the highest volcano...it's never been an active volcano. We are climbing via the Rongai route...I learn that it's the least scenic and also the least occupied...it's approaches Kili from the northern side...near to Kenya. I wonder if it'll all be busy, touristy...may be, may be not. I keep thinking about the last night, day...it'll be a 15hour climb and descent...the body just needs to stay put, keep doing its thing.
I've been reasonably fit this time round...yoga has been very helpful. My routine has involved weight training at the gym 3x a week (cross-training everyday, lowers with focus on each leg), running/ walking the full stretch of Juhu beach (to-fro) 2x or so/ week and more recently 2-3 times yoga/ week. The yoga (when I did carefully, slowly) has increased the flexibility of my muscles in a fairly short while...it keeps me safe during weight training.
Will write again...am distracted with TV...some awards show...
