Operation: Make legs work for Australia*, update.

[7tree_hugger]

Ran 7k. Did not die. Did walk for a minute in the middle because DEATH wanted a word with me. But still. That will do for today's exercise.

I am now going to celebrate the only way I know how. PJs, Hot Chocolate & Baileys, and some daft film of daft. Possibly Hot Fuzz. Rock on.

*I refuse to die in the desert, damnit!

SEVEN? I would be dead in a heap. You're mental. And awesome. And mental. (You won't die in the desert. Are you planning on going randomly hiking in WA or something? I promise you, it's not Sand of Arabia. There's a whole bunch of civilisation there. Possibly even a hospital!)

I'm doing a seven day hiking tour from Adelaide to Alice. Mountains. Desert. Not wanting to be the feeble "girl" at the back.

Definitely mental :)

However, there is civilisation between Adelaide and Alice. Possibly not as you know it, but civilisation nontheless. And not desert All the way. And not sand dunes, neither ....

hmmm...googled this. You have no need to worry about being the last girl standing. Sounds enormous fun. You will take thousands of pics.

Be prepared to be absolutely staggered at what you see. And dont freak out at the wildlife >:> (You camping or hostelling? camping now ... swags ... Things That Look for Warm Sleeping Place .... remember to knock out your boots in the morning >:>)

There will be internets. Not much, and likely rather slow, but internets. We expect updates.

You could always come afterwards and do the Bibbulman Track in WA .. Now that would be a hike! Not sure whether there are any tourist groups doing it ....

It's gonna be AWESOME!!!

And the "mind, she is blown" is one of the reasons high on the list for doing it.

Pictures, yes - I will take them. Updates maybe less so, I'm looking forward to hanging with trek mates over losing myself online. But I have a special Italian Leather bound notebook to write/sketch in, so I'll catch you all up after the fact.

Some hostels, at least one night of camping. Nervous, but excited.

Impressed. By everything... impressive planning, impressive workout, impressive relaxing and impressive movie selection :)

Be impressed by my awesomeness, that's what it's for.
