WOTD – Hiking

Today I took a 6-mile loop trail in the Verdugos. I went alone, which upon reflection is probably not a great idea. What if I sprain an ankle or get attacked by a bobcat? Clearly my imagination is in overdrive.

It seemed so much steeper as I was walking

Despite being a hazy day, I could see the ocean from the top of the hill. The view is the reward for the trek up to the top.

I haven’t done any exercise at all this week. I started a new job on Monday, and the commute is 3-4 hours roundtrip. Not that it’s any excuse; I could always wake up a bit earlier and do a Blogilates video  – they’re short workouts without any bouncing to wake up the downstairs neighbor. I need to do something. Even just push-ups in the morning. This project should last until February so I really need to figure out a manageable routine. I had considered walking to the bus stop (2 miles each way) instead of transferring buses or hitching a ride from 유씨, but it’s 45 degrees when I leave the house and that’s too cold for this SoCal chica. No bueno.

 

I'd love to hear from you
