Ang's Mt Everest Challenge 2018

I've been incredibly slack with updates. Since my last update I have reached goals that I really didn't think I would of been able to achieve at the beginning.

On Saturday I set a personal best of 5 back to back climbs. Was a great achievement for me.

On Sunday I bested that by doing 6 back to back. A big thanks must go out to the Barefoot runner, if it wasn't for his encouragement I most likely would've quit on the 4th one.

Sunday's climb also saw me having to borrow my daughter's size 9 shoe's for my size 7 feet 😂 My faithful $9:97 clearance shoe's from the warehouse finally wore out on Saturday. I did a lot of tripping up the steps in my girl's sz9's and developed a nice size blister 😑 I wasn't thinking about the shop not being open until after my usual climbing time on Sunday when I drove home on Saturday . . . After my 6 climbs I walked straight to Smith's sport's shoe's and bought me a pair of the most comfortable shoe's, I wish I'd had these from the beginning!!

Yesterday morning - Tuesday 27th March I completed the last 2 climbs needed to finish the Mt Everest Challenge for the second time - it was awesome knowing I'd made it back to basecamp 😀

This Challenge has given me so much. Physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. A renewed appreciation for life, it has reset my mind and outlook on all thing's, it has truly been a blessing.

I have set a new goal, inspired by the barefoot runner, ONE day, I will walk Mauao barefoot - not sure when as my tender feet have issues walking on grass 😂😂 but one day I will 😀

Thank you all so much for donating, for the encouragement and keeping up with my progress, it really has meant a lot to me. You can still donate via the DONATE button

I'll see you at next year's Mt Everest Challenge 😍😍

P.S

Kawakawa balm work's AMAZINGLY for blisters
