jaeclecticStart with 1 Monday off work.
Take 1 lunch with eac, add tasty Thai food.
Stop at Y and spend 45 minutes sweating.
Soak in hot tub.
I joined the downtown Oakland Y on Dec 24, and this was my third visit there since. I had toured there some months ago and ended up not joining -- probably because I got the job at PSFT where there was a subsidized gym on campus. Since I joined on a holiday weekend and they were short staff, I said I didn't really need another tour, so I'm still figuring out what's there.
I had, for instance, completely forgotten that there was a hot tub adjacent to the women's changing room. And I observed that most folks go in naked, which somehow makes it easy, whereas if I had to bring a swimsuit (and then carry the wet suit home) it would feel like a lot of bother.
On a related note: I love being in the women's changing room and seeing the wild variety of real women's bodies. Unlike some gyms I've belonged to, where almost everyone seemed to be 20-something and anorexic and OBTW lily-white, the Oakland Y has all sizes, shapes, ages, and colors!
Now I'm home and have a huge pile of laundry to do, but all day to do it, and a good book to read. Life is good indeed.
