Week 4 Day 2 Tuesday

Well mi amigos, its Tuesday!!!!!! I had a great day today! We hiked a horrible hike! Well, it would have been a great hike minus the mud. I'll start from the beginning. It rained all day yesterday so the hikes on Tuesday were pretty muddy. Our trail was iced over at the beginning. We started out and after about 30 minutes, people were bitching and complaining about it being slippery and afraid of falling. So, Sandy decided to do the reverse. We backtracked and did the reverse which is all sand. It wasnt bad though because the sand was frozen. I was so excited. It was Kiersten, Karen and I in the front and we definitely took off! We were sooo far ahead of everyone and that made me feel great!!! :) For once, I wasnt the very last! :) Then, we made it to the top which Sandy (the hiking guide) didnt expect because we had such a late start. Then, once we were at the top, we RAN back down! That was pretty tough because the trail was pretty narrow. I was also excited about that! Then, after we were headed down, we passed the other people in our group again! Once we got done with the trail in the woods and we were out in the open, we hit the mud. And, this mud was TERRIBLE!!!! My shoes are covered completely in mud. It was terrible!!!

Anyways, enough about that hike. I got home from the hike and was starving. So I had to eat a banana! After that, I started my laundry and worked on cleaning my shoes! I had to buy a toothbrush to get them clean! Lunch was chicken salad so I had toast with almond butter and bananas. yum yum yum!!!! It was so nice out we ate outside. After lunch, we all went to the park and played tennis. That was awesome, as always. Karen, Mark and I stayed for the 2:30 class and played more. I burned 824 calories in 1.5 hours. I think that is pretty freaking good if you ask me!!!! After tennis, I went to cardio intervals which was fun. I ran 6.6 mph!!!!!! I was very very happy about that! :) After cardio intervals, I went to pool class! Sharon was teaching it and I asked for an extra hard class. and I kicked my butt. I even had to stop for a minute because I had a pain in my side. What a great feeling! :) After pool, I showered and met JT for dinner. We ate outside again for dinner. Dinner was meatloaf. It was actually really good! After dinner, I sat outside and talked to our little group until about 7:30. I love the nights when we all sit around and talk! :) After our little chat, I booked it home to watch BL and blog to you all! :)

Only 2 more days and Im comin home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
