I found their ad on Craigslist so I texted the trainer to ask about lessons, as it was stated in their CL ad this was a preferred way of contacting them. I got a couple texts back regarding pricing and then I was told I would be called back the following day with more information so I could schedule a lesson. No one ever called. Now I completely understand not having time to text all day, but when you say you are going to call, actually call. I just found it unprofessional and felt like they didn't care about my business since they couldn't even call me back when I was clearly ready to schedule a lesson. Also, if you can't respond to text, take that out of your contact method on your ad. Or if you don't want any new students stop posting so many ads.

I had high hopes, but am very disappointed…read more I purchased a large and expensive package of private riding lessons for my daughter as her main Christmas present. Scheduling was very difficult, and lessons were often cancelled at the last minute. Multiple messages to schedule lessons were never returned. Multiple requests to refund the outstanding balance for these lessons (paid for but never provided) were never returned. Ignoring the problem does not make it disappear, Holly. You disappointed us, especially my daughter.

Whether for beginners or advanced runners, Black Mountain's 5k and 15k runs offer fire road trails with plenty of maneuverability and leeway to single-laned sections coupled with twists, turns, and even a small creek crossing.

Great shirts and finisher medals awarded at Xterra!

I did not participate this year, but totally feel the Competitors, Excitement, and Pain of "Why am I putting myself through this?" If you have ever done a MUD RUN, I think we can all agree, as soon as you cross that FINISH LINE, it's an indescribable HIGH & a Sense of Accomplishment, and is the reason why we do it again & again! I Absolutely love the ENERGY at the Camp Pendleton MUD RUN, it's always an Awesome time, whether you are a participant, or just there to Support a Friend! It's a 10K Challenge, with 24 Grueling Obstacles along the Course! I love how there are so many MARINES, Motivating you, along the way!

We brought cash due to the email received suggesting us to. Here's a funny. When I got there, I tried to find it on Yelp to check in. I didn't see it.

I signed up for the race online, which was fairly easy to complete, and they had an expo at the Hilton hotel 2 days before the race to pick up your BIB. At the expo, they had many vendors selling items as well as free energy drinks. They also handed out the free shirt you got for entering the race, which was really nice, and the quality was great! On race day, which was on a Sunday, the run for the Half Marathon started at 650 am. From all the emails I was receiving, we were told to show up at least 40 minutes or even 1 hour prior to the race due to all the runners being in the location, giving you enough time to find the wave your in. The Half Marathon or 13.1 miles course had a beautiful layout that started by the convention center, bringing you up through the Embarcadero to Harbor Island and through Point Loma. The course was a nice flat course until mile 9, where you are running up Washington Hill, gaining elevation into Hillcrest and throughout Balboa Park finishing in the Gaslamp. When we finished the race, we were giving our medals or bling and were handed a goodie bag with a Monster, crackers, and a protein bar. They were even handing out chocolate milk, water, and bananas. They had photographers on-site taking pictures and a small after party in the park aside from the finish line. This was absolutely my favorite race I have run, and I had a blast doing it. The course was perfect and well organized. They had volunteers handing out water and Gatorade approximately every 2 miles. They had porter pottys all throughout the course, and the crowd was very motivating. I'm looking forward to come-back and doing the exact race next year as well since I had an amazing experience. Thank you to all the volunteers and the organizers who made this race possible.

I was really looking forward to running this particular half marathon for the first time. There was no expo with vendors, just a pickup at the Gaslamp Hilton. What was really special is the volunteers/organizers did a cheer as we were handed our medal so a big thank you to them! Besides the medal, what was picked up was the bib, shirt, and tote bag which included the Friar hat, snacks, and chocolate milk. The tech shirt was pretty unique. In my collection, it's the first to be patterned in camo style. I'm signed up for the challenge which consists of completing the Mammoth Half Marathon in June, thus receiving an extra medal. Crossing my fingers that event is allowed to take place. I crave the crisp mountain fresh air.

It's mostly uphill, and since the trail markers are no longer in place, I used my Apple Watch to track the distance. At the very end, there's a fun challenge -- two chairs with ropes attached that you can use to pull yourself up. It's a unique touch that makes for great photos, especially with the stunning view at the top. We only came across one hiking group and two solo hikers, so it was very quiet -- possibly due to the overcast weather and occasional drizzle. There was plenty of parking available at the trailhead. Overall, it was a quick, scenic, and enjoyable hike.

I think we were close to it because of how near it sounded. We immediately turned back around and made it to the car safely.

Lesson learned: know how mountain lion poop looks like & don't ignore your gut!

The group met around 8am - and Trish was awesome for having bars and water available. I never has Mamma Chia bars before but I was starting to become a fan as I sleepily started to follow everyone into the Rancho Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve. Munching while walking, started to wake me up. Even more so when I re-met Steve, whom I have met before so I guess you could say it was a reunion of a sort. My boyfriend came as my +1 so we ended up talking about what we were planning to do for the rest of the day. Made it to the waterfall where both me and Liang climbed to the other side. The hike was just lovely as it was mostly flat but just a bit rocky. Intercepted a lizard which played dead. Believe Steve took a picture. We visited Elchars Grave towards the end. No picture but found some flowers and a pink starburst left on top. We finished the hike around 10:45am. Do kind of wish I talked to more people here but at least got the chance to get to know CM Trish and talk with new Yelper John a bit. Got a better understanding of the Yelp community. Would totally do this again as I started craving for something to eat right after.

Our Yelper Guide, Smitha shared with us what plants and wildlife could be found in the area. The 3 miles of terrain that led us to the waterfall was mostly flat, until you reach the area of the waterfall. You will find gravel and sandy spots as you make your way to the fall. When you do reach the area where the waterfall is this is where you will proceed down a flight of steps formed by natural rocks. You also have the option to cross the stream by using the rocks as stepping stones. I enjoyed the hike, it wasn't too long, about 2 hours. This hike was therapeutic for my soul, good company (fellow Yelper's) and in touch with nature. Don't be startled by the mountain bikers that might be approaching you. Sometimes you can hear the bike bells. Thank you Trish for setting up your mobile office with morning snacks and water before the hike and Yelp schwag afterwards. Definitely keeping this hike on my list to visit again.

All instructors are very hands on and I know my kids are in excellent care at all times. We are forever grateful for the people here who welcomed us onto their farm and into their hearts.
