Training for Aconcagua: November

I am settling in to the November Plan and this is what it looks like:

Mon-Wed-Fri: wake up at 5:30 AM and go to KU to do stairs and ramps for an hour at different spots on campus.

Tues-Thur: lift weights, upper and lower.

Sat or Sun: hike for > 2 hours in hiking boots to include hills.

Sat or Sun: rest day, whichever day I'm not hiking.

Wildcard: add two additional workouts to the week, which may include a run, bike, swim, or another weight lifting day. If I'm tired, I'll rest (I have coach Ryan to thank for that suggestion).

This plan totals about 8 to 9 hours per week of working out. This shouldn't be too difficult, since I did more than that last year training for the two half ironmen.

Today's hike lasted 2.5 hours--it was just so gorgeous outside--Indian Summer in Kansas at its best. I am feeling very positive.
