Challenging Myself To Climb Snowdon
and there it was, my daily occurrence of a random thought that pops into my head. This one wasn't a regular thought like what shoes will go with my new outfit or a new marketing technique, but a challenge for myself and to create a great memory whilst doing it. It was to climb Snowdon!
This was quite extreme for me. I'll be the first to admit i don't do much exercise and I always intend to go to the next zumba class or catch up with my friends in aqua aerobics but i never seem to do it as the plans just don't come into place. But after creating a five year plan when I turned 25 a few years ago, I thought this would be a brilliant one to do. My five year plan is huge! I love to add things to it from trying lobster for the first time to going to the Maldives. I've completed about half of my list in the last 2 years and i keep adding to it. My latest addition was a big one and pretty serious. It wasn't to try sushi or a must see movie that ive never got round to watching, but a physical and mental challenge. To many people it might come across as not a big deal and many people have completed it for many reasons but for me, the girl who never exercises and enjoy eating out several times a week, its going to be hard work.
I'm planning on climbing snowdon on Saturday 14th July with 6 family members. I am very excited and i believe when ive made it to the top and back i will be punching the air with a great achievement under my belt. I need to look into techniques to keep fit and not get light headed or cramp or moan all the way up that im tired to anybody who will listen to me! I certainly wont be taking the easy route by jumping on the tram which takes an hour to get up. Instead im doing the six mile route which will take a couple of hours and then the four mile route back down. Or i might just roll all the way down which will take less time and i can tuck into a well deserved feast and celebration drink much sooner then planned! Wish me luck and i shall tell about about my experience.
