Sorry about missing Friday. I came back to my room and I went to sleep and couldn’t get the energy to write anything. So it is Saturday and we had a long hike, and I choose to do the same one as Friday since it was a challenge with beautiful views.

Having made it through Friday, another day full of exercise and hiking, I was quite thrilled since I pushed my self much harder. I have finally let go of the handles on the treadmill and even jogged very slow and a very short time, but I jogged !!! We had a cardio disco jam class that was really fun, but exhausting and I ended my day with a liquid moves class and then hit the hot tub before dinner. There is always a lot of activity around here until 10 PM and then it is lights out and you could hear a pin drop if you are still awake.

Today is just a half day of exercise and then we are to rest our weary bones the rest of the day and Sunday. Believe me I need the rest !!! I’ve also been a bit homesick and teary eyed this morning but I jacked myself up and am now focused again on my goals. The hike was beautiful and of course exhausting. I did much better today and even jogged again on the flat parts. Then I creep up the inclines breathing as if it were my last breath. After the hike we had a water class and then we were free for a day and a half….YEA !!!

Tonight is our graduation Festivities so it will be a hoot. During the week a gal takes videos and stills of all of us during all the activities and makes a DVD out of them for all of us. I couldn’t believe she hauls her camera and video equipment up the mountains and catches us coming down and up the trails. Oh dear I do hope my fourth week video is better.

Tomorrow my friend Amy, Doreen, and I are going to Malibu. We are going to check out a mall and then go to the pier and look for movie stars. They are all over here. The other day one of the group sort of complained about a dog that jump up on her on the beach walk. Well she looked up and the owner was Pierce Bronson, HOHO How funny. Anyway I am going to enjoy the company and get a few essentials at Target. It will be fun and I love the friends I have met here. Everyone is so supportive and fun to be around. I will post a few pictures too

  1. Ruth, you sound so much stronger. Hope you have a wonderful Sunday - rest and rejuvenate. Sounds like you, Amy, and Doreen had a fun time planned as well. I am sure I will get homesick too. I don't think it is normal if you don't get a bit weepy during this adventure. Two weeks from today I will be there. I know I can exercise the first day and get through 7 hours; however, the extreme shock will come when they expect me to do it again on Tues (and Wed) LOL.
    I am so glad to hear you sound better. Everyone says it just takes a few days.
    Best wishes and prayers coming your way. Hang tough girl!!
