So, where are you and what do you like to do?

I am in San Francisco, still relatively new. My furniture is coming from Texas tomorrow! Still exploring and am looking for new places to go to for day trips.

Trechechus

Long Beach, trying to figure out what the heck to do with my life!

I live in the south bay area currently. I have lived all over CA (and nowhere else). spent the VAST majority of my life in Northern CA, but travel a lot.

I love being outside. Hiking, camping, walking... recently started attempting to jog. I work out in the gym mostly these days since where I live now doesn't have the easy access to nature like I'm used to. I am not used to having to drive 20+ minutes to find an unpaved trail to walk on! haha.

catshark209

I guess I have to start somewhere..
I live in the middle of the San Joaquin Valley, the milk capitol of the world. As I am somewhat gimpy from an injury, I ride an old bike.

I'm in the SJ Valley too....the hella most ghetto city lol. Take a guess???
Anyway, I try and spend a lot of time in the City, even though I was born and raised here I like the vibe in the City. The better half and I like to get up into the foothills alot. The SJ valley is right smack dab in the middle of all the cool stuff lol.

I live in SoCal - Pasadena to be exact. I haev a love/hate relationship with california...love it here, but can't figure out where i want to settle permanently that i can afford!! I'm originally from the bay area (hayward) and have lived in Walnut Creek, Pleasanton, South Pasadena and Pasadena (also colorado and las vegas LOL). I have family all along the state!

I'm in the "pre gym" phase (lots o' weight to lose) and i'm probably going to do the curves thing for a few months to get my body used to moving before i hit a real gym. I was a Golds Gym rat back in the day before they were popular and only serious weightlifters went.

I love nature, to read, a good movie, to joke and spend time with friends...my kids are finally adults (though still living with me) so i'm starting to find out who i am again after 21 years of momhood LOL.

San Diego...... :glasses:

I'm about 50 miles south of SF, South Bay smack in the middle of Sharks territory.

Tracy!... nothing town. We have a bowling alley and a mall.

I'm a bartender, a waitress and a student.

I've lost 17 lbs so far and I'm not stopping any time soon!

I like to snowboard, even though I am not good at it yet.

goodmonster

Currently living in North County San Diego, moving in a month and a half back to Northern California, San Jose to be exact.

I'm a dog trainer so I'm on my feet a lot and it's so much fun; in my (little) free time I'll either head to the gym or go for a nice walk by the beach. A friend of mine works in the studios at Legoland so also going there and oogling all the epic nerdyness in MiniLand is also tons of fun
After moving I'll get back into archery & paintball, more outdoor stuff back where it's green.


also- Ashleigh: best. shirt. ever. XD

<< San Joaquin valley birth and raised for 22 years. I lived in stockton so I enjoyed not getting shot, and walking fast through certain neighborhoods...

:laugh: So true! My husband won't go to Mexico for vacation because he says it's too dangerous right now. I keep telling him that I would be more likely to be shot in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Stockton than in Cancun, MX.

I'm from TX but moved to NorCal (south of Stockton) a couple of years ago. LOVE it here!

I work in Downtown Stockton. I think I may have PTSD from that. :laugh:

AliceIsRunning

L.A. in Hizzouse!! Pasadena area area to be exact, with a LOOOOONG commute to work in Santa Monica.

I'm a newbie to running and LOVE it! I'm currently training for my first Half-Marathon (which happens to be where that Rat that some of you were mentioning lives)

I also enjoy Zumba, Yoga, long romantic walks on the beach and candlelit dinners (low-cal, of course)

Feel free to add me. I love to give/get encouragement

Roseville checking in here.

I'm not terribly outdoorsy since I don't like to travel in the woods alone, though sometimes I'll poke around to take pictures.

Just started C25K and I like to bike around here and there.

Modernsoul, I love your avatar!

bear_nakey

Hi all! I live in the valley, more specifically, the car theft capital of the nation (or so I have heard). Yes, folks, this city has standards!!!

I typically do some kind of cardio 3+ times a week, as my friends and I are training for a 5k in the spring, and I have recently begun doing strength training/muscle building with a PT 2+ times a week. I am really starting to LOVE working out!!

LOL Occassionally I have class in Stockton. . . .*shivers* . . . Modesto is not much better these days, especially on the Paradise side of town!!

Shannon_Nicole83

I live in the foothills, about 30 miles from Stockton (work in Stockton). There's a lake about 5 miles from our house that has a nice trail, we used to walk that a lot but then we had a baby....and his stroller sucks on that trail. Currently doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and loving it!!! I try to take a walk at lunch, but only if I can get someone to go with me (again, I work in Stockton, I believe in the buddy system).

qwills2cats

I am in Fresno, the raisin capitol. Grew up in San Diego and lived in Stockton for a while. Hope to someday retire to the foothills in gold country of CA. Have lived all over the country, but CA always feels like home.
I am working on losing 85 lbs and will be running my first 5k thanksgiving.

tattooedtwiin

I live in a hole called Slodesto, errr, I mean Modesto....Great place <cough>
Seriously, I love all of Cali and spend a lot of time in the Northern foothills and mountains.
Love to spend time outside whenever possible...Motorcycles, biking, walking the dog.

I'm moving back to Sacramento around Christmas time after a 3 year 4 month stint in Reno, NV. I usually walk my dog or go work out on the elliptical. I do some Zumba DVDs too but I have to be in the right mood for them.

I live in Farmersville about 6 miles east of Visalia.
