Aug 6-Day 15

Monday morning -FINAL WEEK!

Went to our 6 am stretch, happy to have Jake back. Last night alot of new people came but not as much as  in the first week. I knew what they were going through on a Monday morning- Anxiety about what is to come.

The hike was good, great views and ups and down, not an entire 45 min up like last week-I don't like that at all. My GPS tracker register 7.86 miles total. Every Monday is assessment time which means you are grouped with new people. Tomorrow they will post who is in what van number.


Like always right after the hike you have the choice of pool, stretching, a lecture or a cardio class. I chose the cardio class to get more burn. The hike wiped me out but not as bad as last week. There were only three people in that class, since we have 51 people total at the ranch this week that means 48 people were smarter than I. But then again I am not here to slack. John who is a tough trainer, made sure he will maintain that reputation. With only three he was able to spend 'quality' time with each of us. We were doing mountain, which means every minute you increase your level up to six (on whatever machine you are on), then 1 minute recovery. We "climbed" 4 mountains and level 6 for me was 6, 7, 8 and then a 8.5 mile sprint. I couldn't make the 9.0 for an entire minute so I backed it down to 8.5. I was ready to find a bucket right after. But good news , now that fuelband is working again, hit 5501 fuelpoints by 10:30-1501 over my normal 4000 goal, and that by 11:30 am.

After lunch it is either open gym or they teach a speciality class-today John offered a spin class. Good class lots of sprints and more mountains. Then only the normal 3 afternoon classes remained-ours today pool, circuit training and core class.

Now dinner and night night (I know it should be easier, but each week the trainers push you harder, and I am almost as exhausted as in week one-just not as sore).
