Working out here is great because they have an indoor pool.  Lap swim is a great time to just relax.  There's also a hot tub and a huge spiral waterslide.  I've never been on the waterslide because I keep missing the hours when the slide is actually open.  Upstairs in the fitness building is the gym.  It's usually crowded on Saturday mornings, but you can almost always get a machine at night.  I like their magazine selections too.  Check the center hours before you go because there are limited hours Fri-Sun.

My job is to eat.  No, seriously.  That's what I get paid to do.  Consume, pretty much from 8am until 5pm.  Food, food, food.  Eat, eat, eat.  

I lead a rough existence.

As good as that sounds to my friends, my lovers, my parents; it's actually pretty much this not naturally thin girl's nightmare.

So, you see my predicament...

Fortunately I live within walking distance of the Mill Valley Community Center, where for the bargain price of $7, I can use their lap pool to swim off the accumulating fat on my ass that the Bundt Cakes, S'mores, Pomegranate Cocktails, Mac & Cheese and Fried Potato Salad that work made me eat that day is causing.

You have to shower before you go in the pool.  House rules.  It's clean and sterile, and kids rarely pee in this pool, because they are Mill Valley stock, and Mill Valley stock are taught that peeing in the pool is bad form and way too low brow for the likes of Southern Marin.

What the lifeguard doesn't know about me is that I grew up in San Rafael.  All those silly peeing and showering rules don't apply here, folks.

a pretty great community center. the facillites are new and beautiful. the gym is a little small but the pool is really great. it has decent lap swim hours but is a little pricy for drop in (cheaper if you're a mill valley resident than not). they also offer lots and lots of classes for all ages. a really great resource for locals
