Preparing for Another Climb

We have three months to prepare for another climb, but I have yet to graduate from sporadic bouts of exercise to a more disciplined routine. This lack of focus would only get me halfway through, I know.

Thinking of the discomfort, the sheer physical and mental danger and all the madness I would face going up the mountain is what pushes me to pick up my gym shoes and hit the stairs. Doing multiple rounds of stair climbing got me through more strenuous treks in the past.  I hope it will do so again this time.
