YWCA

Friday, October 10th, 2008

I just joined the YWCA.  I’ve been told about the relatively new Midtown Y for over a year and it’s always sounded like a nice place with a lot of amenities.  So, I was pleased to learn about the indoor track, the basketball courts and swimming pool.  Just in the last couple of days I run a couple of miles on the track and spent some time doing laps in the pool.  I need to work on developing a schedule and a routine to my workout.

One of the nice things is that my health insurance will pick $20 of the $55 a month membership if I go 12 times a month.  That actually seems a manageable amount, and 20 bucks seems like a decent incentive.  The Midtown Y is about midway between work and home, which will make it rather convenient to get to after work.  There’s also the Uptown Y, which is under a lot of construction and the Downtown Y.  I doubt I’ll ever go to the Downtown one, but once some of the construction is finished I can certainly see going the Uptown Y.
