THEY LIED!!!!

I must say 6am came awful fast today. All three of us didn't sleep that well and can't figure out why since we are for sure completely exhausted!!! Hopefully our sleep will come much easier tonight.

Janette and Julie both did the Stop Sign today. Janette the super star that she is made full use of her long legs and made it to the top in just 58 minutes and she made her way back down in as little as 44 mins... Can you say "SMOKIN??" But don't worry folks she is a trained professional when it comes to dealing with smoke (FF/PM)!!! ;) Janette was so focused that she didn't stop to take any pictures. Julie also did a fantastic job and she also captured the moment for for us.

My hike was a total of 6.15 miles. We started out around the 4100ft level and climbed up to around the 4500ft level. At the peak of our hike we got to this cool outlook area which is where the pictures are from. I have found that sand, that is 6in deep (kinda like a rodeo arena), is my nemesis! Especially since my legs are only 7in long! Seriously!!! In total we probably walked through close to a mile of this crap today. The back of my knees aren't very happy with me. But we have just one more hike before the weekend! Yay!!! Oops, wasn't suppose to type that! ;-)

Well, folks I am here to tell you that we just paid a lot of money to be LIED too. You heard me, LIED to!!! They say the hardest day is Tuesday and then we did the MOUNTAIN on Wednesday!!! Today we had TREADING!!! As if we aren't getting enough cardio and leg exercise in our 2.5hr hikes! How this class works is we each pick a machine, Janette & Julie picked treadmilland I did the elliptical again because it is easier on my knees, after our 5min warm up, we then have to do our max for 5mins trying to get our heart rate as high as we can, we then then "active" recovery for 5mins and then do it again for 4mins, then 3mins, then 2mins, and then for 1 min. After that you would think that we would do our cool down, right??? On no, we do it again for 50sec and then again for 40sec. And after we finish puking we can start our cool down!! And mind you we did this class AFTER lunch!!!

So here is the summary of today:

6:00 - Stretch
7:00 - Breakfast: Fruit and Egg and Bacon Sandwich (Not bad but it ain't no Moons over My Hammy)

8:00 - Hike (My hike group's hike ran long so I missed the next class)
11:15 - Stretch
12:15 - Lunch: Veggie Soup and Turkey Pita Sandwich (I thought was tasty, but Julie not so much)
1:15 - Lecture: Cooking Demo (he demo'd making a chocolate pie out of tofu, but the rat didn't let us sample - Gggrrrrrr)
2:30 - Treading (Death after lunch)
3:30 - Total Body H2O (pool time)
4:30 - Ball Works (no teabags involved)
5:30 - Dinner: Shrimp with Veggies and Couscous / Dessert was awesome Apple Cobbler

6:15 - Lecture: Menu Planning

At the end of the day it is probably in our best interest that they aren't so upfront with everything. And the one thing they are absolutely right about is we do feel so much better after the day is done!

Good night all! Please say a prayer that we finally get some rest!
