First week of classes.

My first week of classes at the Arizona School of Real Estate & Business started yesterday morning.  For 3 weeks I will be attending class for 9 hours a day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.  I will also be working on the days I do not have class.  So it will be 32 hrs of work each week and 27 hrs of class each week.  I must say that I am one of the youngest in my program out of 100 people.  My teachers are amazing and within one day of classes I've learned way more than I could have ever imagined.  I am so excited for the next couple of weeks.  It will be difficult with school, work, and training for my duathlon but I know I can do it.  I have a very special visitor in less than 3 weeks from Colorado.  We plan to do many hikes in the area and maybe even take a trip up to Sedona. 

I found my new favorite hike in the Phoenix area.  It's called Eagle Ridge at McDowell Mnts.  I went on a hike Sunday afternoon and it was beautiful.  The trail was very unpopular, something I appreciate very much in a trail.  I do so many trails in the area that are packed with people but this one was far away from the city and very secluded.  Hope to take many visitors on this hike.
