It all started with yoga at the Y...

You know those days that start out normal and then you wind up doing something spur of the moment and it's just an unexpected blast?  Today was definitely one of those days.

Me in my yoga outfit on my way out the door.

My best friend works at the Y and wanted me to attend a yoga class with her this morning, so I dragged myself out of bed (which, is hard for me to do) threw on my yoga clothes and drove 20 minutes to the Y.  The class was all right.  I think we accidentally attended a class for seniors, so it was very beginner/easy.  She told me there were more challenging yoga classes there that we'll check out.

Anyway, after an hour of yoga, we hung out sipping some coffee for a while chatting about the pool there.  I LOVE to swim and I'm so burnt out on running, but the pool at my university is ALWAYS crowded mostly with people that aren't even really swimming.  They're just splashing around and wading in the water chatting.  Somehow, they think that's their workout.  I like swimming laps, and I hated dodging all the people that weren't really swimming.

My friend told me to swim at the Y with her that day and she would help me work on my flip turn and stroke.  I agreed.  We quickly stopped by her house, she gave me a suit to wear, grabbed some lunch on the way and went to the pool.

I love the pool at the Y because all of it is sectioned off into lanes as opposed to my school's pool, so you HAVE to be doing laps.  Also, there were only two other people there during the time we went!  It was a pleasant experience.

After that, we relaxed in the whirlpool and I was like... "How much is a membership???" :D

Because I'm a student, they waive the joining fee and allow me to pay 4 months at a time.  The next period would star May 1, and it would cost only $111 for the 4 months!  I'm definitely going to get a membership.  Even though the gym and pool on campus are already included in my student fees (whether I use those facilities or not), I would much rather swim at the Y, and roughly $28 per month is not bad considering I have access to a pool, gym and fitness/yoga classes.

I'm so excited to be getting back into swimming, hell, to just be getting back into working out regularly!

Later!
