My trekking group are superstars! Today, they took part in Nepal's biggest marathon without proper training and basically on a whim! They had a great finish although the race was poorly organized (they got lost) and they were so dehydrated because there weren't enough water stations. In addition, one of the guys got hit by a motorbike as he was asking for directions to get to the finish! The girl in the group, Nina received a 350 USD prize for her finish! All in all, it was a great day for them although their bodies are showing the effects of the day. I am slightly ashamed to be in their trekking team because I am in really poor shape since I don't go to the gym and I don't walk to work everyday. Basically I'm a sedentary slob. Not good since I'll be going on a 3 week trek to the Annapurna circuit which requires uphill climbs over 1000 m possibly on some days. However, I'm going to get my butt into gear and start doing more active things, starting with hiking back from work, doing more stairs, walking faster, maybe eating less... maybe.
Had plans to go to Nagarkot to see beautiful sunrise/sunset but plans are now postponed. Seems to be the case lately. I am very glad I'm travelling for so long so that I have the luxury of postponing trips.
