Introduction

Hello Everyone,

I decided to start blogging about my journeys with trail walking/ hiking in Southern California. This is something very new to me but I like it lots! I am a beginner when it comes to hiking. I am also a full figured, pleasantly plump (love the alliteration), multi-racial female who runs, hikes, swims and spins! Ha! It's safe to say I'm the one of a few (sometimes only person) that looks like me when I run, swim, spin and hike.

I just wanted a record of all that I'm doing. If you have questions, feel free to comment. As a beginner, I think the best reviews and pages for any level hiker are Dan's Hiking Pages and LA Trail Hikers. Check them out for more detailed reviews.

And for all my big girls out there getting into hiking, or spinning, or running, just remember this:


"It's always further than it looks.
It's always taller than it looks.
And it's always harder than it looks."
-- The 3 Rules of Mountaineering.
Take Care,
Ariel


PS- If you see me around in spin class, running, or any of the hikes, say hi! :D
