This week I found out that as an intern I could get an employee membership for the hospital's wellness center. I didn't even know that this place existed in the little town of Chelsea. It's super nice. The weight room is enormous and has about everything that an athlete (and PT) would want. There is a spinning room, aerobics studio, and a little corner with all sorts of balls and mats for doing ab and core workouts. It also has two pools, one for laps and a warmer one for aerobics. I was in absolute heaven when I saw the locker rooms with the towel heaters, spa, sauna and steam room. I think I could live here.
The best part is that I pass it everyday both to and from work. I started using it for lap swimming this week and I next week I plan on doing some weight training as well. My schedule is becoming pretty regular now that I have the same work hours everyday:
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday

Currently I am doing lots of riding on the trainer. It drives me crazy to ride inside but I'm getting used to it. I've started having my morning coffee with my ride so by the time I'm done I'm really wired. I've discovered that a combination of riding and bending of my knee is the morning really helps it to loosen up. I'm also working on bending it each evening. The sooner the stiffness goes away, the sooner I can start running.

Congrats on finding the new place to train. There's a new club part of the same chain opening up near me soon. It's going to have a pool, which I'm rather excited about.
