I haven't written in a while because I've had actual "work" to do at my "job". Geez. Who do they think I am? A slave?
The Monday before last I made a big decision: I would join a gym for the first time. So I went to my local YMCA, proved to them that I made very little, and was given my membership at a whopping $15 a month. Since then I've been there twice to swim and once to lift weights - I think I'm getting my money's worth.
Belonging to a gym and having lots of workout options - should I take a yoga class? swim laps? lift? shake my butt on the elliptical? - has given me a whole new perspective. I'm still running, but doing other stuff means I'm running a little less and enjoying it a lot more.
The first time I got back in the pool after a two-and-a-half year break was "interesting" (a.k.a. hilariously pathetic). My new swimsuit was too big, I swallowed too much air and water, and I forgot how to turn. Basically, I was a five year old in a much bigger body. Luckily, the second attempt was better.
