What a kick!
I just spent an hour (before work) at the fitness centre and I loved it. I mostly spent my time on cycling machines because I could figure out how to use them - but I couldn't figure out how to use the headphones to watch TV while doing it. That's okay.
What I didn't expect was how good I'd feel afterwards. It's an exercise high. This, from the person who always hated exercise.
I plan to go to their yoga class tomorrow - after all, yoga is my thing. I might go to their rowing class tonight - I'm going to decide that when the time comes. I'd like to, but I also want to stay home and work on a story or two.
Maybe I'll go and work out a little at lunchtime.
Maybe I'm getting a little carried away here.

My guess is that it's about a 2-hour walk, the long way home, like a horseshoe. It would be beautiful.
If I ran, it would be that much quicker. But... I'm such a coward. I fear for knee injury, I fear for a resumption of plantar fasciitis which would make it impossible to walk.
And if I get out my bike, I fear the traffic. Are you still cycling?

I'm liking hearing about the gym! I've never been willing to spring for a membership, partly because I have no idea how to use the machines. Please, keep posting on how it goes for you--
