The trip is only 60 days away! My training is going well. I work out with my personal trainer, Mark, twice a week and ride my bike on the trainer about 5 or 6 days a week. I have done a couple of two hour stints. These are boring! I plan to do some longer rides starting next week.
This past weekend I went cross country skiing. We have about 15" of snow and it was wonderful. The workouts I have been doing really helped my skiing. I also went downhill skiing this week and felt stronger doing that too.
I also packed my luggage. We are allowed 50 lbs total with each bag not exceeding 30 lbs. I did very well getting all my clothes into a duffle and small suitcase. The total was 40 lbs. This is great as I am sure that I will add more things before I am done.
Our group of 30 women is sending lots of emails with all kinds of advice and concerns. I feel like I know many of them already. It is good to know that the other ladies have the same apprehensions that I do. We are all in it together.
