WHEW!!!

Ok, so I've been checking out the local gyms around here, and I think I've found one that would be best for me. DH had off today, so we went together, with both kids, to check it out.

Dropped the kids off at the childcare center. Easy, nice, and free!  The trainer who gave me to tour and schpeel on the place come over and gave the same schpeel to dh. Went weel. DH thinks it's a good idea, especially with him deploying for 6 weeks, then again for 4 weeks, then again for 7 months (all before September, thank you very much) so I won't have a ton of opportunities to work out, especially with no help with the kids (and no break from them, might I add!...I'm sorry, as much as we love our children, sometimes, you just need an hour to yourself! Whew!)

So, the gym seems like the best answer for us. Time to work out, free childcare, variety of things to do, a stress relief when I need it, excellent rescources to help me train for the marathon, and it's great location & seemingly intimate gym. I think we'll be happy with our membership there.

DH and I ran on the treadmills for 30 min and then did some butt kicking isotonic poses. Whoa! I'm ready for a shower and bed now! I'm going back this week to officially sign up and get started. I hope it ends up being what we want from it.

Ciao for now!
