Orizaba, My Almost Free Mexico Adventure (Seven Summits Quest Book 2)

---

I never even noticed that I had gained so much fat and become so unfit.

The next fall, , after ballooning up to nearly pounds, my daughter was born. When I looked at her little face, I realized that I had put my health at risk, and if I wanted to watch her grow up, I would need to make some serious changes, starting right that minute. I finally had the motivation to begin a fitness program designed to get me to the top of the mountain. With my love of hiking and climbing, I knew that if I were to focus on the rewards of trips to the mountains, I could sustain a program to return to the me I used to be. Over the next four years I lost 60 pounds, and kept it off for another four years as of this writing in Spring During my fat loss journey I started took up several sports and adventure activities.

I successfully ran the Qualifier for Elbrus Race , and finished under the cutoff for Elbrus Race I trained the 3rd place finisher for Elbrus Race , one of my proudest achievements in training an elite athlete. I studied and experimented with several different training and eating theories. I have figured out since then how I could have sped up my progress quite a bit, and I know that in general you too can have the same results that I got, only in less time and with less effort.

In this book I will focus more on the training aspects of the program.

Even if you need to do both I can get you where you want to go. There are over 50 such mountains in Colorado. The exact number depends on which list you accept. If you just want to have a great day out in the mountains with the potential for a beautiful view, maybe see some mountain goats or pika, and a great physical challenge, there are lots of mountains to choose from.

Many of them have decent road access and a trail that most people of at least average fitness can successfully hike in a single day. In my mind climbing a Fourteener is roughly equivalent to running in a half marathon. Yes, thousands of people do it each week, but to someone who has never run one before, it seems rather extreme.

In general a good training program during a period of weeks could get you from the couch to finishing one. Maybe not in a great time, but finishing a half marathon is possible with about 4 months of training. Climbing a Colorado 14er with 4 months of training is realistic. I suppose that just about any similar mountain climbing goal would be quite possible in that time frame.

It shows in the book as she evolves and transforms in so many ways from the opening butt-kicking scene to the final fight of the book. Then we get to see even more in the teaser for book 2. I started out writing about her without really knowing her, and little clues and hints about her personality and appearance came to me as I slowly grew to know her bit by bit. I became her in spirit, since it's a first-person narrative. Every time I sat down to write I had to get into character to be sure to have the consistency necessary for a smooth plot flow.
