Updates:  I created a blog which I will use to log all my training.  Since my training schedule is pretty intense, and it will only get worse from now on, I feel I need all kinds of encouragement to help me stick to it.  I will update it every day.  If I slack around please feel free to remind me that I need to get back on track...

I will officially start updating in January, but that doesn't mean that I'm not working out right now!!  If you're curious what mountain training entails, or you just want to drop me a note, please visit:  http://7summittraining.blogspot.com

This website was created for all of you nature lovers out there who like to do their research before they go on a long hike. I've included lots of pictures with every hike description because I feel that they're so much better than words.  I know that whenever I plan a hike I would like to see what I'm singing up for!  Please be patient as I'm still updating my trip descriptions and adding pictures to the gallery. 
Having said that... I have a full-time job and am in process of training for the mountains next year so I don't have much spare time on my hands.  Plus, I don't think I'm such a great writer. I re-read everything I write for never-ending corrections so the whole website posting process takes even longer.  I will eventually post info on all of my hikes, it will just take some time...
Comments for improvement, requests or any questions are always welcome!  Check out this page for more info about me.

For the art lovers:  Please come check out the photographs I have taken on my endevours!!  I would love to meet you =)
