First Step, taking it easy
One of the first things I have to do if I am gonna have any chance of summited Rainier is get back into shape. I started running a 1.5 mile strip of dirt that goes along the puget sound on the back side of west Seattle. Near the end of my run there is a steep trail that burns my legs. I can't wait to suprise a friend on this route, because in the beginning it is flat and easy with a million dollar view, but then at the end the hills steepness really tests the will. I like the hill because the inclined switchbacks remind me of the mountains.

thank you for your first to post. I was kind of curious about how much training you think you'll have to do in order to climb Mount rainier? Also how long has it been since you've wanted to do such a feat? I'd be interested in hearing a little bit about why you want to climb the mountain, and what it means to you the size just being a physical challenge.
