Y-M-C-A

I joined the Y about 2 weeks ago and I already constantly smell like chlorine. Here is to hoping the new chlorine shampoo I got works before my hair returns to it's green tinted straw like form from childhood.

As you may have guessed I joined for the use of their pool which is conveniently a 5ish block walk from work in somewhat the direction of home which makes it hard to pass up when I'm off work. I know myself pretty well and I knew that if I made it SUPER easy to do I would have no choice but to do it. Also having a few friends keep tabs on me by making me feel guilty for slacking has help a ton too!

I've gone at least 3 times a week since and I love it. 5 lanes arranged by speed so you don't get stuck with the slow pokes. 25 yard pool. Hot tub that is not disgusting. Steam room and Sauna in the locker room. It's quite lovely.

The plan is to balance the pool with more running/walking so that I don't get all out of balance with the ridiculous swimmer shoulders I had in high school. Just semi-ridiculous :)
