6:40AM: It's Friday! almost to the end of the week. It's been raining all night and is supposed to rain most of the day today. This morning at Open Gym I did an all upper body weight circuit to favor my hurting knee. I think I would stick with one of the pave road options for the knee even if it wasn't raining. Instead of the Stop Sign, if doing West Canyon Road is an option today I will do that.
11:00AM: Brrr! Being soaking wet just makes you cold. Poor Holly's jacket didn't repel the water too well, and she ended up soaking wet during the hike. Let me repeat that... Brrrrrrrr!
Today we had one of my favorite breakfasts here and one of Holly's least, French Toast.
So Instead of the Stop Sign, Holly and I did the White Rock Reverse Hike. We started up near the Stop Sign at the White Canyon Overlook, then we hiked down through the desert to the Lava Caves, over to Butterfly Rock (see photo on left) then up and over the Petrified Sand Dunes. That's Holly in the photo above looking out over the edge. I can't believe Holly was able to do this hike and climb giving her fear of heights.
At the bottom of one of the climbs down that Holly was especially nervous about, she posed as she was afraid she would end up... (photo on right.) I t was a great hike. Uh oh... it's time to run down to the pool, it's already 11:30 and time to go Aquacise. I'll post more when I get a chance this afternoon/evening.
1:30PM: Aquacise was a little chilly, or at least the air was. Getting out and running back to the room to shower was COLD! Lunch was a "tostada", except that I thought that the definition of a tostada included a crunchy tortilla instead of a soft one... The soup was pretty good. Had to pick some green beans out of it though. No green beans for me please!
3:25PM: In the middle of posting my 1:30 post, we had a power outage. So at 2:30 we started the Living Drums class without power, but the power came back only a few minutes into it. What a fun way to work out. Using the exercise balls on pedestals and sum drum sticks, you work out to different rhythms. I now know why drummers are usually so skinny. And confirmed that I have no sense of rhythm. Holly started feeling sick after lunch, took a nap before class but was feeling to sick to her stomach to finish the Living Drums class.
Several other people are also feeling sick to their stomachs after lunch. I wonder if it was the soup, tostada, or the side salad that made them sick. My guess is the salad. Green things are always bad to eat... ;-)My knee is pretty bad and the instructor said that the Hip hop class would do a lot of hopping around so I'm skipping it. Holly is laying in bed moaning because of her stomach.
7:15PM: My knee is hurting so bad, that I skipped Tai Chi as well. I went down to the office building and read while Holly watched TV and drank tea to help settle her stomach. She felt well enough to eat dinner. It was a turkey loaf/burger (with no bun, I tried to get one, but no luck) with some plain brown rice and steamed carrots and broccoli. Dessert was some Sweet Nothings brand Popsicles.

looks like ya'll had a great hike. What a ham (Holly). Just kidding, ya'll should get some more pics like that. Try some optical illusions hmmmmmm think about it. Any odd looking, odd shaped racks I mean rocks around there in the desert?
dude, those are some pretty cool pics. even if it is raining. remember the green beans are in there for a reason. Not sure what but I'm sure it's a good reason like maybe to add a little color, [or maybe jsut to piss you off:)] surely it's can't be for taste.
Still raining here and I've had to do all my court runs in the rain. Fun, fun, fun. Can't wait to get home and relax. After I walk the dog, do 5 loads of laundry, file some receipts, write some checks and then throw some dinner together.
Oh yeah. I forgot to tell ya'll. Tom and I went to dinner the other night and Lennie and Lisa cooked some fish. 3 different kinds. They cooked 'em mayonaise and parmasean cheese. Dam good, not too illegal. Keep those pictures comin'. C Ya!
