My internal thermostat has always been a little wonky, and it hasn&#8217;t gotten any better now that I have an insulating layer of blubber to protect me in arctic waters.  When I go running and it&#8217;s over, say 80 degrees Fahrenheit, I walk away from it feeling drained, which is the opposite of what usually happens.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ymcacharlotte.org\/harris\/home.aspx\" target=\"blank\">Harris Y<\/a> has an indoor track and isn&#8217;t that far from my house.  Plus they have a really great set of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ymcacharlotte.org\/harris\/programs\/aquatics\/aquatics.aspx\" target=\"blank\">indoor pools<\/a> which would be nice to bring Em to on those days when it&#8217;s sweltering or the ozone is bad, which is most days so far this summer.  It also has outdoor tracks and pools, good workout facilities, and a range of classes in case I go insane one day and decide I need to learn how to dance hip-hop.<\/p>\n<p><i>(Note:  I will not be taking a hip-hop class.  It doesn&#8217;t sound fun and I would look like an electrified frog.)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>That would also get me membership at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ymcacharlotte.org\/harrisexpress\/facilities\/hxfacphogal.aspx\" target=\"blank\">Harris Y Express<\/a>, a smaller branch that is closer to my house.  No indoor track, but a treadmill would do in a pinch.<\/p>\n<p>Local folks, anybody got any experience with the Harris Y, positive or negative?  I&#8217;ll take answers online or in person when I run into you.  Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m considering joining the YMCA. Okay, done singing the song?
