I am now a member of 24 Hour Fitness! There is a beautiful facility exactly 3 miles from my house, close enough for me to run or bike to, and it’s on the way to (and from) work. I haven’t signed up before because I have been able to exercise by running and biking just fine, adding P90X and yoga for floor work….however I don’t own a swimming pool, and this club does! I thought about just joining one of the several City of Vancouver swimming facilities, but they are further away, and frankly, I thought it would be too easy to avoid that way!

Besides, my friend Donna, who has been training for bodybuilding competition, goes here, and what better motivation than a gym nazi workout partner?

So I did a Zumba class the first night, and WOW loved it! Salsa dancing + aerobics = heaven! Today will be Yoga and 10K treadmill run.

Tonight, barring snow, I will head to Portland to the Triathlon Club meeting. I’m really hoping it won’t snow, ready to get this show on the road, meet new people to help, get training plans, ideas, etc.
