It's Fun to Play at the YMCA!

We've been spending a lot of time at our gym this winter, and not just because I am training for a 10k. The buddies are obsessed with basketball and on most days the gymnasium at our local YMCA is completely free. They run around, they shoot, they dribble, and they play passing games. We're working on correct shooting form and some of us are making progress. Others have been influenced by a 5 year old regular, who has a pretty accomplished granny shot. But, they are having fun and burning off some energy on cold days and that's really the important thing.



One perk of belonging to a family-friendly gym is they constantly have activities for the kids set up in the lobby. This week, the buddies made several Valentines for kids at our local Children's hospital. Their creations went into a large box that was picked up today and delivered to the kids. The buddies decided their valentines would "make the kids happy and then they'll feel better".
