Something that is big and a little scary, that I know will push me outside of my comfort zone. Last December, Amanda (your other Head Chick) and I hiked to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitchicks.ca\/blog\/?p=527\" target=\"_blank\">Machu Picchu<\/a> in Peru. It was 42km over 4 days an <\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both\">\n<p style=\"clear: both\">So this year, I thought I would up the anty. On July 23rd, TEAM FIT CHICKS (Amanda and 2 of our other FC Extraordinaires Steph and Jackie) are going to be trekking up a storm at the <a href=\"http:\/\/oxfamcanada.akaraisin.com\/pledge\/Team\/Home.aspx?seid=2924&amp;tid=23710&amp;mid=10\" target=\"_blank\">OXFAM Trailwalkers event<\/a>. It is a 100km race in 48 hours!!! 100km..even saying it makes me sweat! We complete the race in teams of 4 and have to check in at each of 10 checkpoints together or we are disqualified \ud83d\ude41 But that is not going to happen cuz our other goal is to win this race! The team who won last year did it in 20 hours (insert gulp!) and our team goal is to do it in 22! <\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both\">\n<p style=\"clear: both\">And it is not only an awesome fitness goal for me but it is a fundraising event to raise bucks for international women&#8217;s rights and the fight againt poverty. Such a fab combo of working the bod, feeding the sould and giving back &#8211; my 3 fave things to do! <\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both\">[http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0k2T6TNC_pY]<\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both\">\n<p style=\"clear: both\">Please send us all your happy thoughts &#8211; we will def need it around 56km!!!!
