Hiking With Purpose...Feelin The Burn!



Yesterday, I went for a 5.3 mile hike with my boyfriend, in El Moro Canyon by Laguna Beach. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves in to...however, once we realized we were in for an intense work out, we took on the challenge with optimism.

As you can see we sparkled with enthusiasm! The first 1/2 mile of our hike was straight up hill. To get a view like this one, did not come easy.
"Follow the yellow brick road"

This was such a pretty view, looking over Laguna Beach! As Stefan would say, "Just reminds me of the view from the ride, Soarin Over Califonia Adventures...!" He was so serious too...:)
My legs literally felt like jello toward the end of the hike, and Stefan's legs were, as he said it, "numb!" We climbed a lot of short steep hills, and ran every opportunity we had downhill. Needless to say, my quads, butt, calves, hamstrings...do not want to function right now. Every now and then, my quad muscles twitch...yikes!

I might have taken the phrase "feel the burn" to the next level...but I cannot wait to do it again!



What are some of your favorite hikes you have been on!? Any in So Cal you would recommend?

Cheers To Being Fit N Gorgeous
