Jocking out
I just joined a gym over the weekend. Through work I get a discount so that it works out to roughly $20 per month, which is pretty good I think. They have yoga both in the mornings and a quick half-hour session at lunch, which is perfect for me. This is the first time I’ve ever actually joined a gym. It’s a little odd for some reason. I’ve thought about it before, but have always been given such a hard sell, that I’ve been scared away. The guy I talked to yesterday though was very respectful and encouraged me to take my time checking it out, which I took as a good sign. My only hesitation in the gym thing is that I feel like I’m becoming a little workout obsessed and I don’t want to burn myself out. I think my current workout obsession is just an ersatz way of feeling like I’m able to do more to further my aerial practice even though I can only do it 2 hours a week. Oh, well. I totally believe in the healthy body, health mind thing, so if it helps me to be healthier, then cool. However, if I start wearing too much spandex and you catch me flexing in the mirror, please feel free to slap me.

You and I are both doing the workout-obsessive thing. I was going crazy for about six weeks but am now trying to fight inconsistency on that. It’s worth sticking with though.
2z and I realized this weekend that neither of us have any idea what you do for a job. Something cool?

Lily - I did go to the gym in high-school and college, so it’s not entirely new, but those are campus gyms, which is quite different somehow.
Josh - I’m a project manager for an internet provider. Not particularly cool (it’s only broadband), but I like it all right.
