I had to chuckle at us as we cruised into the Young Men’s Christian Association tonight…me with my three Chinese kiddos in tow. We had a good discussion about the origins of our community athletic association and their initial operational intent. Did you know that the YMCA was founded in London (1884) with the goal of putting Christian principles into practice by developing a healthy “body, mind and spirit”? Yep…
Anyhoo, Annabelle had basketball at one of the courts in the Y, so I took Isaac and Josie along to get us some exercise. Isaac found some guys to play hoops with, Josie landed on an elliptical machine, and I struck up my love/hate relationship with the treadmill.
I don’t really like running inside. But then again, I don’t really like running in the cold and sloppy snow, especially in the dark. So the treadmill becomes the lesser of evils.
And the odds are that there’s always going to be a kid or 2 hanging around the house in need of an outlet for some energy-burn. Too many hours of video games have been logged for our own good…
Have you started your yearly 2 week exercise renewal program yet? 🙂
