510 Hikers

I've recently joined a hiking group.  I was prompted to do so after seeing a friends photo on his Facebook page. The group completed a hike a Lake Chabot.  That is in my hood!  I only wish I would have known in order to attend. I frequent Lake Chabot,  but I will only go so far before turning around because the sounds of nature get the best of me.  After seeing the pictures from the hike, I invited myself to the gourp and I'm glad I did.

To date, I've gone on three hikes with the group. All have been challenging for a variety of reasons.  For starters, the terrain is not what I'm used to, the elevation is quite steep, and I'm simply not strong enough (yet) to keep up.  Joining the group has been rewarding, too.  I have gained some new cheerleaders to keep me encouraged as I continue to focus on my fitness goals, I've met some new folks with great stories, and this is another opopportunity to see all of the beauty the bay area has to offer.

If you haven't explored a hiking trail, get out and do so!
