Saunas are holy

This is the pool at my gym, taken without flash so it looks all cool. It's a nice place to swim and look out the windows, although the walls have all these California cool graphics of disgustingly healthy people looking uber athletic and satisfied with themselves.

I've branched out from swimming to some of the machines, which I always thought looked so dull. The elipticals make my toes go numb, but the stationary bikes are pretty good. You can select different "terrain" for your ride, and although I would never do this in real life, I like the hilly ride. It's nice to have something so concrete to push against.

But I really love the sauna... it's very plain. A little room off the shower room with this aromatic wood paneling and a little turbo heater. It smells good, is QUIET, and I'm amazed how wonderful extreme heat makes you feel. It really does feel purifying and energizing. It feels like a little chapel to me.
