My parents have put me on a training program for the winter. They want me to run 2 miles a day, and try to do P90X with my dad. I feel comfortable running on the treadmill, although it is sometimes hard, and I really don't want to do P90X with my dad. I am hoping that my neighbor Todd will take me out on a hike this winter. He is a professional mountaineer, and he is going to also help me get to Everest. I think that I am going to have to get snow shoes. My dad told me that it will take us 60 days to Summit Everest. I feel exhausted just thinking about it. My plan for the spring and summer are to do a couple of peaks in Denver, and hopefully Mount Shasta too. I will have to see how much time my dad and Todd can take off of work. If you have any fundraising ideas please let me know. My mom said that the Team Zane t-shirts will be ready in the spring. I want everyone to buy one. I think that it will be awesome when I see everyone wear it. Thanks for your support, and tell all your friends to follow my blog, the more the better.

Griffith Peak
It was hard. I wanted to turn back and head down the mountain, but Patti told me that I would be so happy when I got to the top, and she told me how beautiful it was, so I wanted to see. When we got to the top, there was a book that you sign, and this is what I wrote: "Zane Smith. I am 7 years old. I made it, and I am very proud of myself, and I am proud of you too."
The toughest part was when we peaked the mountain, and the best part is when we got to the top. I need better shoes to hike in. My feet were hurting a little bit, and my mom forgot to tighten my pants, so they were a little big.
I want to hike Mount Charleston soon.
