WHEW!  What a day!  I'm exhausted tonight!

Tuesday's Menu

Fruit is served with each breakfast.  Today's muffin was much more filling than it looks.  It was a bit dry though and not the best of meals here.

These lettuce wraps with quinoa were SOO filling!  

The hike today was called Stop Sign simply because we hike to the top to a Stop Sign.  It is a paved route the entire way with incline the whole way.  It is a hike known for challenging oneself to go quicker than we can go on other hikes due to the terrain.  So today my plan was to jog the entire thing.......and I did!  It was a great hike with great views along the way and an excellent cardio workout.  My heart rate was btn 148-152 the entire hour it took me to run the 4.3 mile climb.  

Once at the top of this hike you can either walk a little over a mile to this beautiful lookout or head back down and make it as far as you can until the van picks you up.  We went for this scenic lookout.  It is so worth it.  

Today was pretty exhausting.  Tomorrow we are doing Saddle for our hike.  I remember it was my least favorite last July so I'm a bit nervous.  Wish me luck!
