When I Was 13 ...
... some of you, I know, were barely born yet. You know who you are! :)
For the record, I was 13 in 1980 (the January that the Steelers beat the Rams in the Super Bowl and a year after the Pirates beat the Orioles in the World Series.)
But I certainly didn't have my own health club membership. However, as of this evening, as part of her birthday last Friday, Waverly is the proud new recipient of a one-year Bally Total Fitness membership.
She went with me this evening and did 30 minutes on the elliptical machine (the one without the sticks) and another 30 minutes on the recumbent bike while I ran an hour on the treadmill.
She gets two free visits with a personal trainer with her membership, and I bought three visits for $129 myself. I need to get smart in a lot of different areas (strengthen my core and I want to build some upper body muscle and work off this flab that is left in the middle), and I guess I feel like if I pay for it that I'll be more inclined to stick with it.
I think I'll run David Dream's Run 5K tomorrow and support Montgomery County events and the Montgomery County Triple.

Other than YMCAs, I don't think that there were very many health clubs around when we we thirteen. Maybe a hard-core weightlifting spot or two..
Who knew it would be the competititve industry it is today!?
