Part of my weekend ritual is to walk/hike/run around Runyon Canyon in Hollywood. I love that I can get my exercise and feel like I’m not in a busy city anymore. Everyone always says that they see celebs there – I haven’t, but I’m also horrible at recognizing people. On the contrary I have seen paparazzo there, so I assume it is just as celeb-prone as everyone makes it out to be. I don’t go to gawk however, I go to get my fitness on. It’s a pretty simple hike, but there are more advance trails once you master the basic ones – I highly recommend doing it at least once.

Here are some pics from my latest jaunt up the mountain. I like that these pics look deserted even though it’s a bustling Saturday morning.
