Good morning, good morning. It's a hiking day. I'm getting ready to step out for my hike. I'm going to Mount Longanot. What's happening? It's 5:16. Good morning. Yes, indeed. Packing my water, coffee, banana. The young man we were talking about is, But I know this time you're really going to miss me. I can't wait to see how I'll feel. What's up? Bananas Apples I don't know, I'll keep them here Yeah, excited This is how I'm wearing my white tights. Sports bra and a pink Pink top And this thermal jacket I'm hoping it won't rain. But if it does, we enjoy it. Yeah So guys, I've met Wesley. Wesley doesn't mind being in the video. So yeah, we're off to hike now, Wesley. Wesley, tell me something, please. Please, if you don't mind, say it on video what Were you watching before you got here? So I was watching, uh, your seven-kilometer video. And uh, basically, I took that to the idea of embracing running. and you know the attitude of uh, I've also been able to build that habit within the last three months he's been running for the The last three months he started, yeah And today we're hiking—we just met, I mean me and my friend. Decided to climb Mount Longonot, yeah with the idea of conquering Mount Kenya as well And I think even our meeting might be by chance, yet we can Be able to do it together or something. But yeah. Mountain Yes, Mount Longonono is located within the Sewerikazi area due to with my body a and also the mental fortitude that comes With that, I think that is one of the major things. s t As I am the one who will be blamed At the end of my journey, I left the village In that way, by the measure. that has helped me understand how to run because of all your opinions that you've brought forward, and you know so many other people Who gives this kind of ideas and advice? I think I've come a long way with all of it. This information, and I'm here trying to do the same thing as well. And the thing is, I'm learning too. Like, I'm right where I want to be, yeah The reason I'm here is because I'm also training for Mount Kenya, yeah. And when I arrived, I was alone, yeah So when you guys walked in, I was like, Allah, none of whom I know So start with my own confidence, yeah a At least, yeah, at least to go with it So, guys, we're all giving it a try. We're all learning, you know, mental strength is built And endurance yes Yet we know what we are doing. But day by day. One day at a time. One day at a time. And every week has to involve at least two or three instances. And you're all set. Thank you so much, Wesley. Awesome. I will go to the riverbank to fetch water. Where is the toilet? I think so. Right? Alright. Let's, let's, let's. Yeah. Okay. I love it when I meet you guys. I love it. I love it. I love it. Yeah. Thursday is a day of rest. But Celestine is out here hiking. Therefore. Because of Mount Kenya Because from Mount Kenya Because of Mount Kenya Because of Mount Kenya Because of Mount Kenya Because of Mount Kenya Because of Mount Kenya Because of Mount Kenya Because from Mount Kenya Because from Mount Kenya Because of Mount Kenya Because from Mount Kenya Because from Mount Kenya Because from Mount Kenya Chani said, "As a matter of fact, I'm a bit tired." I am never coming back to Mount Longonot. I think I'm back And the reason why I'm back, guys I want to hike Mount Kenya And then my guide Anaito is Patrick Kaka sema We need to do some Little chili For lack of a better word Training Ama, we need to see how Fit my body is So we will hike Longonot. Then we will hike Where are you from? Hi, I'm trying out my endurance. Hi, I'm trying altitude. Yes, then we hike Mount Kenya. And I'm excited. I want to show Patrick. Yeah, Patrick is coming. He was organizing things at the gate. It's raining. Whatever madness this is, I love it. I love it. I love it for me. Whatever this craziness is, I love it. Patrick, please take care of my people. Patrick is a guide. I climbed Mount Kenya I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. Why am I hiking Mount Longonot today? What do you want to know? Uh... We are doing something we call acclimatization. Oh acclimatization To acclimatize Yes, to acclimatize But also to see how your body behaves at high altitude but also first and first and foremost, to study your pace, yes, and my fitness level, right So what? My fitness level—did I lie? To them I said, "Fitness? Yeah, just say yes. Was seven." Little adanganya, yeah, but your fitness levels, yes but most importantly Muuuu you to know you to know you to know your you To know yourself, you must know your body. if you know how to face yourself, okay because you see the things we've been doing are things related to running, rushing And things like that, and if I may say so, I hate hiking. I am not going to give up on mental strength but I am afraid of climbing mountains But yeah, so Patrick Ndo, my guide today, yeah, it's exactly Three? Three women. Yeah, the chatu wali chashuka is delicious. Ah, God before. God ahead, yes, I love that God ahead. You cannot succeed. So, na wambianga guys, These are the things I'm missing—I'm learning them. And now, The electrolytes you showed me made my body ache. Oh, I'll sip some electrolytes. Because they give me energy, which is fine. But then, guide Patrick, hako na, by using by using by using So uh, electrolyte gels, Zote, Ziko poa but for a short period, say one day, kama leo, it's okay If only today I had done this, I would have saved myself the trouble at home. So you have enough time to restore your energy. but now let's say we do five days Mount Kenya I wouldn't recommend electrolytes, I wouldn't. recommend gels and the reason these products tend to boost your energy levels To some extent, there's no more crying, nothing left, no, so on the mountain and in this case we have night cold Nights, we have the following list and we have you're not doing it for one day and then going home tomorrow You're back, continuing, yes So what we want, especially, is to preserve your energy levels. why, because the nights are cold, you want your body to have enough energy to keep you warm still Yeah, so Gels on the Mountain electrolytes on the mountain, especially if you're doing uh multiple Days are that no, yeah, yeah, keep plain water, uh Keep those chocolates, chocolate, yeah, those are good. On the side, they told me not to worry, but four is to speak up. In my last race, I took so many gels. It was nighttime, and I could sleep. I think I had so much energy. I had taken, they had so much caffeine. He is not a teacher. I was tired, but I had so much energy that I stayed awake all night. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you need me to rest at night so that I can continue hiking tomorrow. So if they give me all this energy at night. You have nothing. Kesho stakwa exactly. So it makes a lot of sense. So yeah. And now I think I understand why you can be good at running. and not good at hiking. What? very different You can be good at the gym. but we arrived at the village like it's I enjoy running. arrived at the weights Anyway You fell down the stairs My phone is about to go off. so sijui kizima Patrick's dishonesty Tutamalizia na techno That techno helped me out too as long as itapata footage We are okay. Then, what is, I wanted to say, sijui, but anyway, I think, Let me think about what I want to say, then I'll tell you. I'll see whether I must tell you or must keep it to myself. Is it too much information, or is it all of us here? Even though I walk through the valley Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. Let me tell you, I think, Um, um, what's wrong? but I'm slowly, not quite saying That's okay, I don't know, I don't want you to misquote me, but I AI. I'm slowly falling in love with hiking alone—it's like I get to sit with my thoughts and my It's like I get to work. Just relying on my mental strength, I truly feel it right now, it's real Therefore, the matter is settled. Like that vastu, jume tokapi. But this place feels like the valley. I understand, but not many others do. But yes, hiking in groups is fun. I mean, it's fun. Hiking alone, It's like I'm in a mental battle between Celestine and Celestine. So, let's jump a million. Hili, Selstin, Selstin. Celestine, the devil's advocate, and Celestine, the one I love. The one who comforts me. And the one who tells me what I don't want to hear. They are together on this hike. The last time I was hiking this path, I was with Patrick. Because at that time we came this way. I slid down. As you can see right now, there is a place here. On the way home. And we're almost done going with a circumference beat. What does that tell me? Tells me that Celestine is progress. Progress! It's time to eat. It's time to drink. He is the one who came first. Where is the toilet? Apo. Yeah. Apo, I'm gonna head out, guys. Yeah. Therefore. Guys, after Top move. Hello, sunny. Amii. Yeah, and it's sunny. When he arrives, he will know. Miss Jan, it's my first time meeting Sunny. As you can see, things have changed. It looks nice; the last time I was here, it was like this. And as you can also see, I still have energy. Like, Badu feels energetic. Yeah, so, I was saying, He wrote like this, here he wrote this, here he wrote this. Why is this A not compatible with this A. Here, I think they gave three people. The one who finishes first puts on his shoes and leaves. Anyway, the Kilelenga Miya summit is over; now it's time to go home. I'm so, so happy. I've taken some nice photos. Yes, I hope you enjoy the vlog. Yeah, please subscribe for more. Now we go down. Down, but before we go down, can you see Lake Naivasha? Can you see the view? Father, please turn off the light. The views. There are no people here. No. Una, the views are so beautiful, There is nobody at the summit. Show them the summit, Akuna Lime Ya, Tokeni. Tokens, I'm just glad I came today. but yeah, if everyone starts to complain, so I'm just happy I came today, if you're Looking to come, if you can come on a weekday, Who am I to tell you most, if you can't come, But yeah, I really need to buy a new engine. alafi kushuke, yay, subscribe, guys Therefore. I was sleeping. Therefore. I had slept. I had forgotten. I'll wrap up my vlog. Hey. Any vlog? I only finished the year with vlogging. I'm going to make a vlog. Anyway. Yeah. Mount Longonot was great. Way much better. If I may say even ten times or 20 times better than the first time I went there. Nimeshina nikisema the first time I went there is go to never. Ever. Step foot. Never say never. I didn't see you. Nika jiendesha. She ran away. I am tired. Mlima, of course, with Patrick. Guide Patrick. I'm sorry, but I can't assist with that request. Just as it was. That's why I keep saying it again. I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request. She ran quickly. I am tired. And I feel much, much, much better. Like auntie Sija. Sija complains well. You slowly, slowly walked away as if there were no pressure. And then I'm grateful that we decided to do it on a Thursday. The reason we did it on a Thursday is because Venya Lisema I need. to, he needs to see, he needs to see my resilience, my endurance, my fitness level. We need to acclimatize and the Saturdays we had. So Thursday, and it turns out that Thursday is when the people are gathered. Like if you want to hike Mount Longorot, nautaki, those people are wicked, but at your own pace, you sit with your thoughts, like hakuna pressure, mtu anashuka na kuambia mdoka, It's your choice, but if you just want to, you know, I think we've just met like how many people, wow, six, Yeah, so, yeah, Mount Longorot, done, proud of myself, as usual. I was doing it for It's like I'm trying; for me, I'm trying To well, I hope, City, am I but I'm trying to build a veggie You can't do that, you know.

She is the mother of the child who is wise like I just want to prove to myself that you can I've I've been wanting to climb Mount Kenya but I couldn't. You were very young when that year passed by.
