PART TWO

 If this were a mountain.

And if I take the mountain that you hear most about, at least in terms of a challenge

Then I'm talking Mount Kilimanjaro

And if I were climbing Mount Kilimanjaro - 

which I wouldn't be because I don't like heights

                                  

But if I were . . .

Then looking at the maps

I am at Kosovo Camp

And being at Kosovo Camp

                I would be about to begin to ascend to the summit

This, I hope will be the start of my climb to the summit.  I have almost a whole year to reach the goal I originally set myself but that's not to say it will be easier.  Adams reaction when I said I would like to do the marathon again was "Oh no, who will do the washing and ironing at the weekend, it's been chaos here, I never have a clean shirt on a Monday morning"  

I have a lot of catching up to do (not least with the ironing!), an 18th birthday to celebrate, a couple of little battles I need to fight and a few changes to make that should have been made many, many years ago before I got so stuck and so damn bored.  I hope you will continue to check out my progress from time to time.  If I have learned one thing since October it's that we can achieve amazing things if we are passionate enough, I plan to use that not just for the marathon but for everything that's worth getting right.
