Day 15 - Muscle memory

Today was assessment day again and we got a new hiking guide - Sam from BL 9.
I was hoping that he was on my van but alas not this time. I am sure in the next 2 weeks he will be on one of my hikes since he is in training and has to do all the trails.
Today we went to Backbone which some people call broke back mountain, not because there are gay sheep herders, but because it is a lot of uphill right at the beginning. I was worried but really wanted to step it up this week so I had a plan.

I have not done really well on the hills and had been trying to pace myself evenly on the flats and hills. Well not today! I sucked as usual on the hills and jogged on all the flats and downhills. I rocked that hike. It was kind of weird once I started running I felt like comfortable, like I remembered this feeling once a long time ago. And my body responded; I even started running UP some of the hills. These are ones I would normally have a hard time walking up. It is a good thing my body remembers, because my mind has forgotten. Tomorrow should be interesting.

I was moved up a van this week. I am so excited but I feel nervous like I did on the first week because I know I will be the slowest in this new van. But, I do not care. I am only worried about me right now.

AND, someone walked up to me in the gym and said - Oh my God you have lost weight. You can totally tell in your face and chest. (a girl - not a guy looking). HOORAY!


Nope - my boobs look the same to me. I think I got some sun on my face that made me look thinner, because you know my mantra is "tan fat looks better than white fat".

Wish me luck tomorrow.
