Runyon Canyon Hiking Day

For our last team building activity, we went hiking at Runyon Canyon in the Hollywood Hills. We met at IHOP for breakfast at 7:30AM and began the 1 to 2 mile hike at around 9:30AM and finished around 11AM. This activity helped us prepare for Thailand in the following ways:

1. Waking up early for breakfast. This was a challenge for some of us. We quickly discovered who are the morning people and who are the coffee dependents.

2. Hiking in 90 degree weather. Our team will be doing similar physical labor in Thailand under similiar weather conditions. We learned that some of us are not in the best physical condition. I was impressed how everyone was able to put away the "grumpies" (did not complain, see STM Retreat posting).
