Well, it's been a long time since posting something and since I have the whole summer off one goal is to post here on a more regular basis. My first big event of the summer is to climb Mt. Rainier July 10, 11, 12th for SADS www.sads.org It is a worthy cause and raising money and awareness is right up my alley, not to mention the life long goal of climbing Rainier. Going through Mountain School in 2004....having some rather interesting years between then and now, the opportunity came to do two things I love doing...climbing and bringing awareness to a worthy cause. Working out at Crossfit Spokane since November, helping teach Mountain School this winter/spring has been a great big plus for being in shape to do such a climb. As I was completing my WOD at Crossfit today, I was reminded just how far I have come since joining in Nov.....I almost started laughing at myself when I think back to barely being able to 20 "girl" push ups...and now 20 REAL pushups....no big deal....pull ups....yeah....gotta love um....still using a small band....but for now thats okay....running...easier each time and a bit faster too. When I look back at the starting weights and times....yep, 35lb. kettle bell swings are starting to feel light...
Overall, I'm excited and looking forward to one of the most challenging events yet in my life. I will post pictures and will also pray for great weather so that our team is able to summit! If not, the mountain isn't going anywhere! The next couple of weeks will be full of workouts and reviewing my knots :) All for now...my backyard grass needs mowed!

What an amazing adventure! Wishing you much success and can't wait to hear how it goes. Neat idea to add raising awareness for a great cause too. Double bonus. Love and hugs.
