Kilimanjaro & Dogsledding Adventure in Norway

[travelnutt]

Hi All,

 

I'm a big believer in setting goals and then working to achieve them. I've learned that if I want to get in shape, I usually have to commit to something like a race, a trip, or something else where if I don't get my butt in gear, it will be painful. 

 

I recently just returned from a trip to Nepal where I was able to trek in the Himalayas. Talk about motivation to get into shape, that seemed to do the trick and it was a trip of a lifetime. 

 

Next year I'm hoping to trek to Kilimanjaro which is another adventure to help motivate me to train. If anyone has done this trek, I'd be interested to hear about your experience and what you did to prepare for it. 

 

Also...I recently stumbled across a competition that involves a 4-day 300 kilometer dogsledding adventure from Norway into Sweden. If anyone is interested in entering, you can do so until December 12th. Find details for that at: http://www.fjallravenpolar.us/about-polar/

I haven't ever done anything like this before, but I entered and you can see that here: http://bit.ly/mjdogsled

 

I've finally figured out that traveling and adventures of all sorts seem to be the thing that motivates me the most. Seems like I've found other like minded individuals here. I'm inspired by so many of you. Thank you for sharing!
