When I woke up this morning, first thing I jumped on my treadmill downstairs - I've only been running sporadically for months, yet Pat and I signed up for the 5 mile turkey trot about 15 minutes from our house on Thanksgiving (which is now 2 days away). Pat, who is in terrific shape and is a fast runner, is going to try to win this thing. I just want to have a nice leisurely jog that will make me feel better about the turkey dinner i'll be eating later that evening.
My neighborhood Y opened a new facility a few weeks ago, which is less than a 5 minute drive from my house. I decided to check it out today - it's huge! And gorgeous! 3 indoor pools (2 of which can be used for lap swimming) that are deep (means faster splits for when I get back to swimming), 2 studios (+ cycling room & gym & mezzanine & indoor track) with lots of classes, particularly yoga and pilates, at the times that fit in my schedule. The weight/cardio area has all new equipment. And they're building an outdoor pool slated to open next summer.
So I just canceled my other gym membership and soon will be frequenting this new Y. I'm hoping making this change will help kickstart a new regimend for a healthier lifestyle (and weight loss!).
