Yay for feeling 'good sore!' And yes, those early-am endorphins are a beautiful thing!! Would love to hear more about your blogging class when you're ready to share more info. I set up a wordpress account last summer, when I first began blogging, and was immediately overwhelmed w/ all the bells & whistles (and I consider myself fairly intelligent! LOL), so I switched to Blogger, but want to upgrade sometime this year. I'll be calling on you with questions, I'm sure! BTW - why am I not seeing your name on the Pay if Forward 500 Mile Club on the Turtles blog? A few triathlets have said that's a good mileage goal, since you guys swim/bike, too. Just curious.... Take care! Hey Diane!

I found a family-friendly gym where there were people of all shapes, sizes and ages, and that made me more comfortable. I also looked for a gym that had good hours and was CLOSE TO HOME (I like getting there in the morning when it's less crowded). The close to home thing actually gives me one less excuse. It's easy to get there. I wanted a pool because I was a swimmer and I knew that would be a good place to get started again. When we are just starting out, swimming or any kind of water exercises are a great way to start. Find a gym where you can get a free trainer session to learn how to use the equipment the right way is really important too. Getting hurt is the last thing you want. And last but not least, cleanliness. My gym has paper towels and cleaner near all the equipment so it can be wiped down easily.

Where you do take blogging classes? BTW, I joined Urban Active, which is about 3 miles from where I live. There are great deals out there right now with regard to gyms. I am only paying $19.95 a month...with no contract. Full access to their pool, workout equipment, classes, etc. Jeannie Diane,
