Sean and Melissa Get Fit

Finding a convenient gym in the neighborhood has been challenging. There is a great one on the bay front - the equipment set up has you running/climbing/biking as you overlook the water - but its about a 20 min walk from home and lets be honest, I may walk 40 mins in addition to a workout in the summer, but I'm not so sure about the winter. :) Melissa did not give this option 2 thumbs up either.

On our street, there is a personal training studio and a yoga studio. I've opted for the personal training studio and Melissa has opted for the yoga classes. My experience with personal training has only been through Bally's - where I see knuckleheads making out of shape people do bicep curls as their first activity. This studio is a bit different, there are no memberships, and you just show up for your session time. There are 4 pt's and they are all serious athletes and very nice. My pter is a professional (or aspiring professional) triathlete. He has done some serious competition and coaches other triathletes away from this gym. We were matched based this common interest. I've enjoyed my sessions with him and as Melissa can attest to, I come home very sweaty and smelly. Its a good outlet to meet others that live in the neighborhood. I've actually had a couple of run-ins on the street so its nice to start to know people.

So I did my daily check-in to the Baileys Down Under and there are like 10 more entries than there were yesterday ... with different dates on them! What kind of space-time contiuum is there between us? Thank you for the procrastination material!
