Good Morning Blues

Pretty much everyone that has known me for more than a couple of days, know that I am totally and unconditionally NOT a morning person. That does not mean that I am an absolute monster but it means that I would rather stay in bed. Mornings for me = slow, non-talkative, robotic and thoughts of going back to bed. Well this whole journey has, quite simply, forced me to make some adjustments. Not only am I climbing these peaks, which is incredible in its self, but I am forcing myself to wake up EXTRA early 3 times a week and ride my bike for 1 hour. It is very painful at times and the bed seems to scream louder early in the morning than at later hours, but I do it. So this is part of my preparation, I figure the more I do now, the better the chance it will pay off on Kili. I think the distance is roughly 15 miles round trip and it is not too bad once I get on the bike and head down the road.
