Way I keep coming back to BLR...

There are five reasons why I came back to BLR in Malibu:

1. Hiking
2./ 3. Dr. Ray / Jonathan (can't really tell you who is #2 - depends on the day)
4. The Staff
5. The food

The hiking is great. The hiking guides are great - friendly and they do a wonderful job with encouraging and pushing you but they also know when to back off.

Today I went on the toughest hike that I have ever been on - straight up for an hour - no slight declines, no level plains, just straight up! We climbed a little over 1700 feet. We did not go straight down - we went a different way that was slightly downhill with a few inclines. I actually ran (jog) the declines and attempted to run a couple of the inclines. I had a HUGE calorie burn for one hour and 45 minutes - I basically kicked butt and took names!!

Tomorrow I will try to write about the other reasons why I come back to the BLR in Malibu, if I am not too tired. Last night I was just too tired to write.
