Day Eleven - Thursday

The rain is over, the rain is over! This means we went back to real hikes today with real views and real rock climbing....wooooooot!!

It sounds like everyone was feeling a little lame-o this morning....probably from all the dreary weather we've been having. So when I got to the gym late (at 6:45) not a single soul was there and no one had been there yet because the lights were off! A few people were in an aerobics class, but not too many people stirring early today! We had breakfast (I opted for cereal) and we got the good news about the hike. My knee was again hurting (not much improvement from the acupuncturist) so I was a little nervous about hiking but I'm nearing the end of my stay so I sucked it up and went. It was a gorgeous hike....it was rough on my knee but totally worth it.

The menu:














See that mountain and the tiny spec on the top right? There is a rock there called the piano rock. We were up there :)














The view from "up there"














The butterfly rock














After the hike, we had Stretch class...always love that! Then of course, we had lunch. I looooved the mushroom soup. Surprised, aren't ya? Miss Picky loved the mushroom soup. After lunch we had to go back to the world of lectures (for those of us who are leaving this week). It wasn't too bad, it was really about how we are going to adjust when we get home and trying to plan for our new lifestyle. Then we had treading class - you should join us at home for treading Thursdays by the way!! I'll be doing it every Thursday when I get home. So easy - pick a cardio machine, warm up. Push yourself your hardest for 5 mins and then cool down for 5 mins. Do the same for 4 mins-3 mins-2 mins-1 min and then another 1 min and you're done! So easy and great for your heartbeat. Then we had a pool class (in the SUN - yay!) and then we were supposed to do a ball class but I stayed in the pool for another class. Felt better on the knee after hiking and doing treading. For dinner we had stuffed peppers (below, I did not like) and a vanilla pie with strawberries in it (ok). Now time for Grey's!
