I cant believe it has been one week!!
This week has really gone by fast! This morning we had the stop sign hike. I dont think I really explained the hike on MOnday because I was too tired. Every Sat and Monday we do a timed stop sign hike. It is about 4.5 miles mostly uphill in the mountains. The last 1.5 miles is all uphill..pretty steep. One of the trainers said the last 1.5 miles is like walking on a treadmill at an 11 incline. Everyone tries to increase their time. THere is also a "mini stop sign" that is about 3 miles up. Last monday I made it to the mini stop sign and about 1/2 way down. I didnt want to attempt the big hill...I was sucking wind big time! I made it half way down for a total of 4.5 miles...not too bad. THe altitude killed me. THis time my calfs were really tight (which I was told was due to dehydration and no electolytes). I thought...shoot I wont even make it to the mini stop sign today....I was sooo frustrated. Well I made it to the mini and all the way back down. I even jogged on parts of the inclines! I was moving as fast as my little short legs could take me! I walked 6 miles! 1.5 more than last time! I was happy! Alot of the people here run up it. I am not able to do that....yet! I have 6 more stop sign hikes before I leave. It will be interesting to see what I do it in! After that we had a circuit class! We had tacos for lunch and carrot soup! It was yummy! Some of us girls took a field trip to a local art place and shopped...nothing exciting! Now...we have down time until dinner, graduation for people leaving and karaoke! TOmorrow is just relax day. I have to do laundry! Oh...for breakfast we had a fruit parfait. You can weigh in everyweek here if you want....but they only measure you when you arrive and leave. I think I will weigh in next week. My clothes are getting loose in the back of my legs....Cant wait to see my results in 4 weeks. I will be conditioned to work out....thats for sure! I miss everyone and cant wait to see you guys...3 more weeks! I am sorry I am not posting pictures. Not taking very many. I will take more next week. Jim can help me post them next week! Again...thank you for reading my blog. I appreciate all the support. It really does help. When I get sad....i read the comments and it makes me happy! Have a great weekend! Dominate the Day!
