I don’t like change too much. I am a creature of habit. For 17 years I belonged to the Health Zone <\/a>exercise facility in Tulsa. They had two locations. One in South Tulsa and another smaller one downtown. So if I missed a workout in the morning then I had a bailout time at noon. It was great.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> Well, all good things have to end right. The Health Zone shuttered their downtown facility. I wanted to have two facilities. One in South Tulsa and another downtown. And I didn’t want to pay much more money than what I was paying before. You see, I am not only a creature of habit, I also love a bargain. I love running downtown at noon but I like the amenities of the much larger south Tulsa facility. People kept telling me, “its over, you need to choose, get over it!”<\/p>\n

They were wrong, I didn’t have to choose, I got what I wanted. I found the Youth and Family Center <\/a>(“YFC”) of the First Methodist Church in downtown Tulsa. It is a facility about a half mile from my office with wonderful facilities. And the day before I walked in it turns out my employer cut a deal with them. The Health Zone cut me a deal also. So now I get two facilities for only $6 a month more for what I was paying before.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> And its better! For my weekly kitchen pass run after work I go to the YFC and change and then run from there down to the river less than a mile away. I don’t have to change in the car after work hoping that I don’t get arrested for indecent exposure. Afterward I shower at the YFC instead of stinking up the car and the house.<\/p>\n

So, I can exercise with the Catholics in the morning or run with Methodists later in the day. Its an ecumenical trend!<\/p>\n

You guys who told me that I can’t have everything I want, go jump in the lake. What do you know?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
