JENeral Comments - Thirteen days and counting!! Spent the last few weeks getting comfy in my pack; wearing it for longer and longer periods of time, doing a little "urban hiking" along the Greenway Trail and around the High School walking path, AND getting a few odd looks here and there! That, along with some jazzercise and running, I hope to feel strong come trip time!
Thank you all who have made a donation and continue to follow our blog. I have been truly touched by your testimonies and sharing. I feel honored to carry the names of loved ones on our climb.
I just remembered Ed Visteurs saying in "No Shortcuts to the Top" that summiting was optional but getting down was mandatory. I went out to find the name of the book because it escaped me and saw he just climbed Rainier on 8 July and will be doing it again on 23 July. You are doing something that will be with you the remainder of your life for TWO reasons.
