Mt Rainier Training Hike

Mt Rainier training in this particularly rainy spring has pushed me to get out and up the mountains even when the forecast shifts from sun, to rain and thunder/lightning. Last night felt great at Mt si with a cameo of a tiny rainbow greeting @fohawker and I at the peak (barely visible where I’m pointing). I ran into a girl who was also training for rainier and summiting the same weekend we’re attempting. Pretty cool. I added weights to my pack last night in addition to all the essentials and extra water to weigh in just under 40lbs. Felt great and will keep adding weights tapered in throughout the month leading up to summit weekend (July 4th). Even though it was rainy, any day outside sure beats the stair master at the gym! Wearing my @puddles2oceans hat as a good luck charm all month training, and will hopefully be donning it on summit day at the top.
