Day two is here and today was a big day for me as I entered the scary, looming place known as the Cedar Falls rec center! Well it really wasn’t scary at all and I feel so accomplished that I could just shout it from the rooftops! I signed up and changed into my workout clothes and headed towards the track. It’s so nice that it’s not busy at all when I get off work. After running a few laps around the track I saw a familiar friendly face none other than my neighbor Don Blau! He was kind enough to give me a tour and some tips about using the center. He has been been going with his wife Linda for several years and was a great resource on little tips and tricks to get the most out of my experience.
After the tour we decided to go into the sauna for a bit. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect since I haven’t been in one for many years. At first it was completely comfortable and I almost fell asleep but after about ten minutes I could see why everyone else was sweating profusely. I had to get out after about 15 because I couldn’t stand it any longer but I did feel very clean and relaxed like toxins had been released from my body.
Guess who is going back again tomorrow to kick some butt?!
Cannot wait!

Yay! GO GO GO GO!
You go girl!! Keep it up!!!!!
I think my hubby and I are joining tonight! I’m so excited! I wouldn’t mind hearing some of those tips your neighbor shared with you! I had gotten a fitness pass back in November, but that’s all I have used the rec for. I am a bit intimidated by it though, so I’m glad I’ll have my hubby with me for the first few times, at least! Good luck with your journey!
