The Goal!

On July 20, 2008 I plan to set out on an adventure of a lifetime. I plan to climb Mt. Adams via the Mazama Glacier route with one of my best friend. I have 142 days to get prepared for this adventure. Besides getting gear ready, I have some serious working out to do as well as studying. This will be one of my first adventures at altitude. Mount Adams is a stratovolcano in the Cascade Range and the second-highest mountain in the state of Washington. Adams is a member in the Cascade Volcanic Belt and is located in a remote wilderness approximately 35 miles (56 km) east of Mount St. Helens. Elevation is 12,276 ft (3,742 m).

I turn 30 in 1 month and I have alot of work todo to get back into shape. Over the last year I have kept up jogging and weight lifting, but not in regular form. Over the next month I hope to get back into a regular schedule. The plan for cardio is joging 2-3 miles a day 6 days a week and lifting 5 days a week. I hope to keep regular updates here as to my progress.
