Yup....Rebooted my 24 Hr fitness membership today. Have been feeling much better with the prescription drugs. I think the anti-inflammatant has really worked, as I'm able to stretch again. It's felt so nice the past couple days to just move again. And it's been brutally hot in southern California, which was what brought me to Hollywood's 24 Hr Fitness....namely THE POOL!!!
Did about 20 laps on a kickboard which felt amazing. It's been a while since I swam in a pool. I used to do that regularly back in Brooklyn in 2004-2005 before the mini-triathlon. So it was nice, and good to beat the heat in the middle of the day. If you have a 24 Hr Fitness membership, you know it can be a drag at peak times- like 4pm -8pm on weekdays. Also, cleanliness can be an issue. But overall, for $50/mos, you get your money's worth- and can choose gyms all over LA and around CA. Unfortunately you have to pay a guest fee in NYC, though sometimes they'll let it slide. It can be particularly useful to have validated parking (like in Anaheim during NAMM in January).
I hit the jacuzzi too, which can be nice with the jets against your back. I've been chilling with some Hydrocodone tonight, so feeling pretty cozy, and discovering whole new meanings to Pink Floyd lyrics ("my hands felt just like two balloons"). Cheers, gentle reader. Here's to rocking out this Fall. Don't let anything hold you back...
