    Checking in from Seal Beach (just south of Long Beach). I'm an avid runner with 24 marathons under my belt. I usually run 6-7 days a week.

    Southern California here...Long Beach to be precise. I play soccer 2 days a week, lift weights M-W-F and hit the cardio machines on Tu-Th-Sat. I love MFP and all the supportive people here!!

    I live in the armpit of Cali, Bakersfield .......

    I am a hairstylist, and also serve at Macaroni Grill and babysit on the side. I love theater, singing, playing piano, acting, and playing board games. I LOVE Karaoke, and i'm a super goofy person. I love to make people laugh, even if it means totally embarrassing myself

    Make me 3 for Orange County (I know that rat well - but I'm not sure we'd have passes if we had to buy more than 2).

    I run (not very fast and not very far but I'm working on it with C25K)
    I walk
    I play DanceCentral and DanceCentral 2 (the BEST!)
    I do mixed training (strength and plyo type stuff) with a personal trainer
    and on my own I try to drop and do pushups, squats, etc, whenever I can force myself to do them.

    I'm from Santa Clara County, born and raised. Work to much. Love to travel going to other countries and learning about the culture and history. My son and Fiancee live in Ireland so I'm there around three months of the year. Amazing place crazy history there.

    I live in the Sacramento Valley in the strange little town of Davis, CA. Just getting back into going to the gym but when I can I love to hike and ride my bike.

    hey there. I'm in Venice. I'm a movie producer and also an attorney (mostly entertainment). I ride a bicycle frequently and was a pretty regular cross trainer at the local Gold's gym, but a high ankle sprain has meant I'm only doing weight training (and bicycling around my hood) for the last six weeks or so (when not travelling).

    I have no friends on mfp, so feel free to add me. Been logging in every day, and its nice to see such a supportive group.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!
