Get my ass in shape for Everest 2010.

I've been speaking a bit with someone I stalk on Twitter who was at Base Camp this season, he claims 'moderate fitness' is enough to sustain me. I'm not sure I'm even close to 'moderate fitness.'

This has to be worked on. I've lost an alarming amount of weight with the kidney stuff, it's time to turn it around and use the 'kidney diet' to my advantage and turn it into a toned body that can last for three months at high altitude and cold weather.

I found a great looking school that is close enough for me to get to and it seems to cover all the bases including ice climbing and that scary thought of 'what do you do if you or your partner fall into a crevasse?'

I'll start with walking every day, I've certainly got enough land to walk all over the place and pretend I'm trekking. I can't do a lot of the basic exercise with this stupid graft, pushups and anything requiring strain on the right arm are out.

It's going to take the whole year to get ready for this trip and hell, I might not make it until 2011 but I'm getting to Everest as soon as the lawsuit is in and I'll be damned if I'm going to hold myself back by not being physically ready.

Everest, here I come.
