I’m 5 days into the Everest Challenge. Not bad. I’m not the top of the heap – but I’m almost to Base camp 1. I’ve had some good days this week (I think I’m excited) and the weather’s been mixed. (I was soaked to the skin on Day 2).

This is the start of the day and I’m above average but still not to basecamp. The red line is me, the orange is “average” and that blue guy… I don’t know who he is but he’s averaging 25,000 steps (15 miles) a day?!? Must be a Marathon Runner.
