The Personal: Climbing that crazy mountain
Picture me...my smilin' tired face on the top of that thing! That's right, I've taken on the challenge and will be climbing Mt. Ranier on July 19th, 2007 with the Climb for Clean Air...and that very date just so happens to be my birthday! Wahhoooo....(i hope i make it).
The whole thing is sort of freaking me out to tell you the truth. I know, lots and lots of people have been up that thing and I will be very very well guided with the Mountainers, so it should be a cinch - right? Right?
I will keep you posted on the training I'm going through and of course you can hear all about it during the climb as I will be doing live interviews back to 710KIRO on July 19th from (hopefully) the top.
So far my training has consisted of - eating better - I replaced my breakfast of coffee and Doritos with eggs and carrots ...(ok....and a handful of gold fish crackers).... - and yesterday I increased my regular 3-5 mile run to include a really big hill that I, quite honestly, didn't make to the top. BUT - I have plenty of time and promise to step it up a notch this weekend with a hike to Little Si, (which I've done before) carrying a 15 pound hike...step one on my way to the mountain!
If you'd like to join me - and I think you should - Check out the Climb for Clean Air
You can still sign up and raise the money...and wouldn't it be a great accomplishment to climb the mountain and raise money for an extremely important cause...Lung Disease....(I have asthma so it's extra close to my heart).
AND if you want to sponsor me or donate some cash to the climb, shoot me an email tina.nole@gmail.com and we'll getcha connected.
OK - now wish me luck!
