Inca Trail Conditioning: Week 9 – Blood and Sweat

A tough week after I donated blood on Tuesday evening which put a small wrinkle in my workout plans.  I added a book to my weighted backpack for my morning hikes.  I did manage to complete Body Pump class on Wednesday night, though I went easy on the weights.  I met last week’s Stairmaster goal by time, not distance:  90 minutes, 6.29 miles and 302 floors, two days after my blood donation.  Two hikes completed my workout week this weekend: a difficult, approximately 8 mile loop up to the East Peak of Mount Tamalpais on Saturday with Eric and a 4.6+ mile hike at Las Trampas Regional Wilderness on Sunday with Lindsay.  Next week’s Stairmaster goal:  7 miles or 100 minutes.
