McKinley Training - Week 5 of 26

I went to the gym three times this past week. Four would have been better. No stair running. My last run was a little over three miles at a 5% incline, which isn't too bad. Not quite a personal record, but close.

I looked through some photos of my past trip, and I'm just dying to get back there. The picture is of the Valley of Death and Camp 1 behind it. You can see Camp 1 easily ... its all the tents along the visible train. The trail walking right into the Valley of Death is made by people doing the West Rib ascent, which is what I hope to do in May/June 2010. I admit its a little foreboding.

Twenty-one more weeks.
