I'm a joiner

Today I bit the bullet and signed on the dotted line to become a member at Genesis Health Clubs. I signed up for a free week when I was at Exploration Place the other day and went yesterday for a tour and workout. I lost my super-cheap YMCA membership when I lost my job in May, so I decided to just do it. I really like the facility. I love the fact that there are individual LCD screens on each treadmill or elliptical machine for watching TV or a personal DVD. You just plug in your own headphones and tune in what you want to watch. Makes me feel very special for a few minutes each day. And I've needed that lately. So as the days and weeks keep going by while I'm looking for a job at least I'll be spending some of that time constructively sculpting a new me!

Good luck!

That's one thing I miss A TON about not being an Eagle-ite, or living in Wichita. The Y membership was great - we went all the time. When I did the marathon, we got to train at Genesis if the weather was bad. It's a nice place.
