Well, it is the 15th July 09 and the only thing I have to say is “Life is good.” I'm enjoying my self at work, my personal life is great and my Ben Nevis walk all seems to be fitting into place.
I talked to Rob yesterday and asked if he would help me train. He did, of course, say “Yes.” He thinks I would benefit more from joining his gym but with a lot of talking to people and thinking about it I can't afford to do that, it would be £120 for him to train me and £35 to join the gym per month. I would love to do that, but I can't, so Rob said he would train me outside the gym. He has also said he would talk to another gym to see if we could use their equipment with out joining. I have given him my number so he can give me a call to sort out when and where to start.
Everyone I have talked to about Ben Nevis is really positive which is really nice and it makes me want to do this even more.
Today I went and got myself some new walking boots and proper walking sticks. On Saturday Andy, mum, dad and I are walking from Corfe Castle to Swanage. Now I have my trainer and the equipment that I need I feel this is it, this is the start of where my life starts to change and the only thing I can say about it is I'm so excited about it all. All I need to do now is talk to Sailability which I'm going to do on Sunday.
I have emailed them and phoned them but have had no reply. Half of me is disappointed that they haven’t got back to me, the other half thinks I'm being stupid I know it's all volunteer work which means they have there own lives as well, so I can't really complain. I have looked at their web site and I know they are sailing this Sunday which is why I want to go down there.
Andy is coming with me, one for moral support and two for a 2nd opinion. I just hope it all works out. So after this weekend I will have done my walk to see how I go and hopefully have a charity and I can't wait. I really do think this is a start to a new beginning, well I hope it is anyway.
