Hello all you Dirty Girls!

One of our Dirty Girls, Denise, came up with an excellent idea for an interval training walk. Have any of you heard of the Secret Stairs in La Mesa? I googled it and found this description by a blogger named @jenboydsd on twitter:

"Secret Staircases in La Mesa

Here is a secret tip when it comes to fitness in San Diego. Find a walking path that is challenging and fun. Called the Secret Stairs (http://www.cityoflamesa.com/index.aspx?NID=298) as mentioned on the official La Mesa Website (link will give you details and location), 4 stairwells with 549 steps in total make this walk challenging, fun and beautiful all-in-one. Originally used to facilitate foot traffic, these public stairwells are a hidden walking treasure in San Diego County. Every house in this “jewel” of a neighborhood is different, no two are alike, there are many different sizes of houses ranging from cottage style to mini-mansion, a few of these houses even have historical status. This hike is perfect exercise to get your endorphins going in the morning (as I experienced) or before sunset to see the beautiful views of the city (on a clear day you can see Downtown San Diego, the Coronado Bridge and beyond). Highly recommended for the healthy, willing and able. Give it a try and let me know how it goes."

Jen made this sound good, didn't she? I am eager to try this out soon. . . please join me and Denise for this exploration!

Now go get Dirty!
