Another one of those days

I think in my first week I mentioned that Wednesday is usually referred to as hump day, but I have chosen not to think about it that way.  Well, one of the afternoon classes here on Wednesdays is mountain and the trainers refer to Wednesday as hump day.

Last week I let myself get dehydrated on Wednesday and it really felt like a hump day.  Both days this week have been awesome, but when I started the hike today I realized it was going to be one of those days.  At least I'm going to attribute it to hump day.

The hike today was Backbone Latigo Canyon, which is a good hike.  We got a real early start and were hiking at 8:05am.  This hike is mostly covered by bushes and other shrubbery, but there are some lookout points to see other hills.  Here's some pictures.

The afternoon classes are kickboxing, something in the pool, and mountain.  My routine for mountain is to be on the treadmill and increase the incline for each level.  It is a hard class especially at the end.  This is probably the one class that I haven't improved a lot because when the incline is at 15 percent, even 0.1mph increase is a big deal.

Last week during the gyn classes, I was sweating so much that the constant wiping of my sweat with a towel started to chaff my skin, so I decided to buy a sweatband for the head and wrists.  To complete the ensemble, I purchased knee high socks,  One of the ladies in my group wears a pair of sunglasses that look like they're from the 1980's.  Before class today I got the disco ball and borrowed her shades for a picture.

Yes, after being here for so long and since today is one of those days of low energy compared to other days, I felt the ridiculous picture needed to be taken.  The sunglasses didn't turn out that well in the picture, but remember they are 1980's retro sunglasses.

Closing thought for the day:  Everything runs in cycles, and energy level is no different.  Today was a low energy day, but I gave it my all in mountain and kickboxing.
