I have locked in a MT Rainier climb with IMG June 25-28 with my son, and my plan to make it to the top is two-fold: lose 30 lbs and get in shape.

I had started lifting with my son (15) to help him get stronger for wrestling in March, and got the basement outfitted with a bench, adjustable bench, squat rack, pull down machine, dumbbells to 60, curl bar. We have been doing 4 days a week (M T TH FR):
- chest, triceps, legs, 20 minutes cardio, core (2X) (75 minutes lifting)
- Shoulder, back/lats, biceps, 20 minutes cardio, core (2X) (75 minutes lifting)

Starting in August we added a run on Wednesday & Saturday.

It has been going well so far, although I have been fighting a pull in my right arm for over 2 months I got doing hammer curls, plus some minor shoulder pain. Both of us have gotten stronger, with my son putting on some good muscle on his skinny frame. I just need to lift intelligently, and remember that I am no longer 21:-)

Activity logged today - 3.75 mile run done at a moderate pace. Longest run for me in maybe 10 years.
