EVEREST 2005 - DISPATCHES

FEBRUARY 2, 2005

My training continues almost every day. I leave the house around 7:00 am for a five-minute trip to the local fitness club. After a mandatory stretching session, I run 5 kilometers (30 minutes), and work on a cross-trainer (30 minutes). Weight lifting for lower and upper body conditioning takes another 30-45 minutes. After such an extensive workout a hot tub is essential. I am home usually around 10:00 am. Today I received a package from Jagged Globe confirming the itinerary. The work on this web site is slowly progressing. I expect to have the site operational by the end of this week.

I am planning to go cross-country skiing at Hardwood Hills on Saturday. The weatherman calls for a sunny and warm day.
