Outward Bound

I'm going on an Outward Bound in November. After hearing about it from four different attendees, I thought, I'd like to do it.

I'll be going to the school at the top of the South Island for 21 days in November. I've passed my physical and paid my money. I still need to gather together gear, book my ferry ticket and do extra jogging and hiking.

My understanding is that we will spend half the time at the base and half time on outings. I'll get to sail, kayak, swim, run, hike, sleep solo under the stars, rock climb and do high ropes. It will be challenging physically, mentally and emotionally. I'm sure the spiritual element will be there too--I will be praying for help with the challenges!

I'm excited about it. It's a great motivator to get some extra exercise.
