My boss is going to climb the Santa Monica Stairs 100 times on Saturday. That’s the equivalent of climbing the Empire State Building 10 times.

Wat. http://bit.ly/12QC1rj

If you live in LA, come out on Saturday morning and hang out with us! I’ll be there and would love to meet some fellow fitblrs! :) :) :)

I’ve been slacking on my goals

NEVER a good feeling. I hate hate HATE blaming it on work, but this month has really been insane at my company. We’re exploding with new clients and new business, we’re completely understaffed and I’ve been working extra hours. I know that’s a horrible excuse (and I hate excuses in general), but I’m going to do better!

I’ve revised my calendar with what I’ve ACTUALLY done these first two and a half weeks…it turned out my mom is training for a half marathon, so when I was home she asked me to train with her (the two days following the 10K) so I ended up logging 14.3 miles in 3 days. At least I was off to a good start!

I may not host Boot Camp tomorrow (which is why I have Abs 2 days in a row) because our company is having a going away party/happy hour for a colleague. IT NEVER ENDS. 

I have a potential meeting with a new client on Sunday afternoon - also happens to be a friend I haven’t seen in a few good years so it will be nice to reconnect!

I did just make fresh juice (celery, cucumber and carrot)…mmmmm :)

How are YOU doing on your September goals?

Hiking in Malibu

Yesterday the boyfriend and I hiked Escondido Falls in Malibu. I’ve hiked there before but I haven’t ever gone all the way to the end. The first bit of the hike is very easy; mostly flat and shaded until you arrive at what seems like a dead end with a trickle of water and a muddy little pool.

What we did this time is use the ropes to climb up to the second part of the hike, which is much more treacherous. Lots of climbing, rocks, and steep inclines. Needless to say he took us on the wrong path, so on our way back we had to scoot down a nearly vertical rock face (and of course I made him take pictures - and it was a lot scarier than it looks!)

Free Gym & Class Passes in West LA

So since my PT test is almost done, I thought it would be in my best interest to go on a “Class Marathon”. I am going to acquire all the free passes humanly possible for every gym/yoga studio/boot camp in West LA and TAKE THEM ALL.
