December 23 Packing and Preparation Frenzy

All packed.  Actually have packed about a dozen times.  I don't want to take too much but I hate being cold.  Last minute purchase of "Acclimate" an altitude conditioning drink.  Made a last minute trip to REI ( My favorite store in the world!).  Got silk liner socks and Smartwool liner gloves.  I vacillated on the purchase since I didn't use them in Nepal but Jamie convinced me.  The warmer weather and humidity increase the sweat factors so I broke down.  Not cheap!  I am such a penny pincher but broke down.  I know I won't regret it. 


 I have forgotten foot warmers for the ascent day I need to check my ski bag or go to 7-11 and pick up some.  I will forget something but hey we also need to support the local economy.

Tonight I will stay with Rachel and Jamie so Jamie and I can get in a 3-5 miles run before we catch our plane,

Today conditioning.  Walk/Jog 3 miles round trip doing my errands and going to visit my 92 year old friend Naomi.
