In an unusual move this post has two parts! I have booked in to do rappelling this Saturday and have decided to document here how I am feeling right now.

To put it bluntly I am terrified. To the extent that part of this post is a public commitment to going ahead!

When I got the gift certificate for Christmas I was torn: I felt excitement as it was new, and definitely involved adrenaline, but I also felt terror. Walking face-first down a building is a long way out of my comfort zone.

I am confident I will love it once I have gone over the edge and made the first few steps down the building.

But my stomach is churning and I feel light headed just thinking about those first few steps!

So this is my public commitment to going ahead. Part two to follow next week.
