Last workout day at BLR

Today was my final workout day at the BLR and it was a much better day than yesterday! I went on an extended hike, which means it was about an hour longer than normal - regular hikes you get back to the resort by 10:45, extended hikes by noon. The hike was to Sand Hills Peak which is the highest peak in the Santa Monica Mountains.

I kicked butt on this hike - best one of the past five weeks. My legs just worked great - knees felt great, legs did not feel heavy and was able to move half way fast. Great speed on the incline and managed to somewhat jog going downhill. On each hike, we have three guides, one is the lead, one in the middle and one as the sweeper. I have always been in the middle or close to the end, but not today - up with the leader the entire time! It was a great way to end the hikes here at BLR.

After a three hour break, we had a "Last Chance Workout" from 3:30 to 5 pm. Basically it was a boot camp class that we did outside. It was good and my knees still felt great.

Really feel like my last workout day went well and I am ending this on a good note! Do my fitness summary tomorrow morning. No matter what the results are, it has been worth it just because of my knees - so much better!

My flight out of LAX is not until early Monday morning. I will be heading to a hotel at LAX late tomorrow afternoon. I will be the day here tomorrow and heading to airport hotel at 5:30 pm.
