One of my objectives following our 3 Peaks adventure was to get stronger (fitter/healthier) ahead of our trip to Kilimanjaro.  Not only to reduce my risk of altitude sickness but also to ensure I make the most out of this trip – and enjoy it.

I’m a procrastinator.  So I set about planning what I was going to do…..and carried on planning.  So, I’ve changed tactic.

I’ve asked my (wonderful) team mates to challenge me to do things to push myself physically – so far, I’ve got running challenges, a swimming challenge, a skipping challenge and a ‘banning sugar’ challenge…..if I fail any of the challenges set by my team mates, I pay a fine (which goes to their donation fund).

So win-win – either I get fitter and healthier or Unicef gets money out of me!

Watch this space – I’ll let you know how I get on.
