It’s Always One Step Forward and Three Steps Back
Ashwyn k -
Welcome back to my blog, readers! I come with many advancements, some of which I did not discuss in my previous blog. Most notably, I published my GoFundMe and it has already raised $180! While I was in the process of finishing up the fundraiser, I wanted to post it on my main/personal Instagram account, but that seemed illogical since it is a private account and would likely inhibit the amount of possible funds I could raise. Therefore, I created a second, public account specifically for documenting my Senior Project process and it started with a bang!
But… since I created it off a whim, I haven’t fully planned how to manage it. So far, I have a few posts and shared stories about my progress at the gym, but I’m uncertain how to proceed. My project won’t be very eventful until I leave for Nepal, so I am considering simply continuing to post training updates until I fly to Nepal. I also am thinking about other ways that I can promote my Instagram, I’m currently on a journey to follow anyone and everyone who could be related to my project as well as my sources, but if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them!
On a more positive note, I might be doing my first full-day hike in a while this coming Saturday with some friends where I will be tackling Flatiron! It depends on the availability of my friends, but I’m excited to do this hike for the first time since the pandemic has ended, and I’m curious to see how my training has impacted my stamina so far. For the average person, Flatiron can take a couple of hours to complete so I want to see how I can compare to the “average person” (without hurting myself of course, haha).
Sadly, that’s all the news I have brought from the past week, but as I continue with this project and until I step foot on Everest, I will continue with my consistent training.
Here’s a picture of one of my training days at the gym:
