Today has been the best day. Our hike, classes and lectures have all been very moving, inspiring, fun and so helpful. I ate the damn salmon even though I hate it - my buddy Sonny from California said I had to eat it or I didn't get my cake - I sucked it up for dessert.

Some people have been asking how I have been feeling regarding Crohns stuff - well I am happy to report that feel terrific - with so much fibre, no caffeine, no sugar, no milk and tons of whole grains and exercise my system is so happy - it is quite the joke here about people's "systems" working so well.
It is amazing that only after 5 days of the program how strong everyone feels - this is where the boot camp part really works. They push you and you follow them past what you think you were capable of - it is pretty emotional to see and feel when you think - there is no way I can do another mile, class or activity and you do it. It also makes you think how wimpy I have been back home thinking, I can not walk around the track another time, go to the gym today or even take a walk as I am so tired - oh yes I can now!!!
Did I mention how dry it is here. When I was thinking of all the stuff that I was worried about - blisters, dehydration, chaffing, headaches from no coffee, sugar, etc. It is the dryness that is killing me - bleeding noses, yucky skin and so thirsty all the time - I have gone through all my moisturizers and Kleenexes that I can get my hands on.
Tomorrow I have signed up for an afternoon trip to Coyote Gulch; an artisan community about3 miles away where we can stroll shops and booths to see local artists at work. At night, I am going to see Footloose at Tuacahn theatre - which is an outdoor theatre built into the side of a mountain - a couple of the kids from So You Think You Can Dance are starring in it. Check out the virtual tour at http://www.tuacahn.org/virtualtour.html#
It was great talking to Lennie last night - Lennie is not too lonesome but golfing and hanging with the Purvis'/Dimitroffs/mom & dad so that make me feel good that he and the Tiggster are ok.
Think of me tomorrow morning at 6:45 (8:45am) your time as I get up to the top of Snow Canyon in a faster time.
Cheers.
