I admit it, I've been delinquent in updating my blog. So, where to begin? Last weekend I was back out hiking after a small break for Memorial weekend (when I was too sick to actually hike). Things are kicking into gear as we near our hike date, the training hikes are becoming increasingly more difficult. Saturday we hiked Purisma creek - another decent/ascent hike with a total of around 12 miles or so.
The weather was fabulous for hiking, cool and foggy, and the area was beautiful. Overall a great hike, but after not hiking the week before I was definitely a bit sore on Sunday.
I'm happy to say that we've chosen our hike for Yosemite, there were a few choices other than half dome. Chryssa (my hiking partner) and I decided early on that we would not do half dome since there are so many people that do want to do it and only a limited number eligible. Instead we are doing a relatively moderate hike called Dewey Point. It is apparently a bit off the beaten path and has some amazing views of the valley.
As for fundraising, I am up to $1810 and while that seems like a lot of money I'm still far behind the required minimum which is $3200 with only a week left to donate. So, if you have been meaning to donate now is the time and believe me even $10 helps.

I thank you all for your help in this - it has been a great experience to know I'm doing something that is saving people's lives.
