I've come down from the mountains in the Annapurna region of Nepal after a 10-day trek. It was by far the hardest physical experience of my life, and required quite a bit of mental stamina too. I accomplished my goal of having a fun time trekking around the highest mountain range in the world, though all did not go according to plan.
Over the coming days, I will share my final experiences in China, my flight to Katmandu via Lhasa and Mt. Everest, my rendezvous with trekking buddy Gela in Pokhara, preparing for the trek, and one GIANT outdoor adventure!
I hope you'll continue to join me.

Thanks Phil - I noticed that too. It's a great milestone when I think back to starting at the big goose egg - zero!

You'd be surprised how little shape it requires. I saw just as many, if not more, people in their 40's and 50's than in their 20's. Not that they probably weren't in shape, but I think you'd be surprised at what is possible out there.
