We Survived...

Well 5:30am came way to early for this creature of the night. We started off with a Yogalates class... And NO this is a class where they serve lattes after!!! It is a mix of yoga a palates to stretch out and warm up the muscles before our hike.

As for the hike today, this was the "assessment" hike to determine what fitness level grouping we each fall into. So, as we go on our 6.25 mile hike and take in the beautiful surroundings I totally forgot about this being the assessment but surprised that I was keeping up near the front. There was one group of show offs (Janette was in that group) that left us in the dust. I was in the second group. Now the groupings go Advanced, Intermediate, Moderate, Beginning. So with this in mind I thought, not a problem I will be in the top of the intermediate because they just let us go at our own pace to see what our level is naturally or so I thought!!! Soooooo not the case, I was informed that I am in the advanced group!!! Are you SERIOUS!!! Eeewwww    I know I joked about wanting to have to crawl from class to class but this is a gaurantee that I will in fact being on hands and knees!

But with all the whinning aside, I cannot say enough about how beautiful it was out on the trail. Here a few pictures and trust me they do not do it justice...
