Sepulveda Wildlife Area- A Beginning Stroll

Just a note for my long time readers: Ms. Fat Adventures has had a rough time with depression and with that came some weigh gain and a stress fracture in her foot.  Slowly, I have been trying to regain control and easing back into ADVENTURES has been fairly helpful. When your only support is what you can do [...]

Playa Del Rey…another morning beach walk

  Address-ish: Culver Blvd & Pacific Ave Playa del Rey, CA 90293 Look for the sand dunes…there’s ocean behind them.   The Low Down: I arrived at Playa and found very few people around that early on a Saturday morning. It was  FOG-GY but not too cold so I tossed my jacket into the backseat of [...]

A Dockweiler Morning… A Brisk Walk on the Beach

Did you know that walking in the sand can burn up 300 to 800 calories an hour? How cool is that?! In the wee hours, I decided that just a normal walk wouldn’t do. I needed to connect with nature- take deep, cleansing breaths of morning air and view some beautiful scenery whilst I worked off some [...]

Burbank Thru Toluca Lake to Universal City- an URBAN SHLEP

So every Sunday Morning, bright and early at 4:30am- I take an Urban Hike.  I wish I could say it for exercise purposes only but it’s actually out of necessity because my car broke down and the bus doesn’t run in the Burbank, Ca area at 4:30am. I leave work and off I go to pick [...]

Walk/Run- Lake Balboa in W. Van Nuys

I’ve always liked Lake Balboa, especially in the early morning…It’s not a huge lake but it’s kinda cool. I’m training for the Revlon Run/Walk which is coming up on May 6th. I’m going to post a link to my donations page so look for it and dig deeply into those pockets! I really don’t have [...]

Ventura Boulevard- Sherman Oaks/Studio City

WALKIN IN LA… …NOBODY walks in LA! (except moi). Every now and then, you just have to get out into the neighborhood. Perhaps you have a screaming, teething Grandson who needs some fresh air and a diversion?! Maybe the gym is TOO CROWDED and you need to find some other way to workout?! GET WALKIN’ [...]
