boy needs to exercise more. he wants to do it with me.

well, since bearing weight on my feet kills me still (haven't managed to budget orthotics yet) and just *walking* is painful, i told hiim i can only swim with him, nothing else. swimming is also the least painful/stressful form of exercise i can do and it won't leave me curled up in bed for several days afterward.

well, gyms with pools aren't that common around here. and the ones that do have pools are expensive as hell.

the local YMCA doesn't have a facility of its own and offers no joint adult swimming programs with local school pools.

there is a Y in farmville (40 miles away) with a joint swim program. there's also a Y in waynesboro (35 miles again) with a pool. 40 miles takes too damn long in this area (45-60 minute drive one-way). *sigh*

bah. i miss having a local Y with affordable rates. if new castle, indiana, could do it, why can't charlottesville?

Tell boy that digging a hole is good exercise. Make him dig it rather large and at least 3 feet. Then tell him that cementing the sides and bottomis good exercise, remind him he should use rebar. Then tell him that cementing around the hole is good exercise as well as a cover over the hole. When he is done tell him that it seems he's built a pool with a cover to protect you from the sun and see if he would like to start exercising now ;)
