Due to the hottening (it's a word now) weather and my inconsistent record of getting up at 4:30 to be running by 5:30, I'm thinking about a gym membership for the coming months. I have not the best record with finding such facilities successfully, so I thought I'd ask here first.
Things I am looking for in a gym and membership:
Non-negotiables:
- Good running access: -- Either a goodly amount of treadmills (more likely) or an indoor track (less likely). IDEK if the UA rec center has the latter.
- Short-term affordability: -- I'm only looking to sign up through maybe June through September, and I won't necessarily be in town that whole time (several short trips, not one long one). I need to keep the whole cost under (ideal) or near (less perfect) $100.
Niceties:
- Low pressure atmosphere: -- This is where gyms have failed me in the past. I do not want to be constantly hounded to pay extra for personal training sessions, or even to be constantly reminded that they come free (!) with my paid membership. Weight loss promotions are also not my thing.
- Access to free weights: -- Where "access" means quantity, variety, and space to use them. It's convenient to lift alongside my running, but I can manage that at home if need be.
- Convenient location: -- To Grant/Craycroft. Very far across town is a deal breaker, but it doesn't have to be super close by for me to consider it.
- Yoga classes: -- I know some gyms have them. I will go to yoga no matter what this summer. If I don't have to pay extra, good times.
Anyone happen to know of gyms that might be a good fit?
Thanks!

Arizona's books-to-prisoners program, Read Between the Bars, will be celebrating its five-year anniversary at La Cocina, 201 North Court Avenue, on Tuesday, June 12. The hours are 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. To kick off the evening, Nowhere Man and A Whiskey Girl will perform from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., followed by other musicians to be announced. There will also be a raffle for prizes, with tickets available for a suggested donation.
La Cocina will donate 10% of its net profits that evening to Read Between the Bars, so make plans to dine out if you'd like to support the many people affected by mass incarceration in Arizona.
On a totally unrelated note, there's a petition on Change.org if you want to tell the ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/syndicated.gif?v=92.1) city_of_tucson to make more downtown parking free during the Modern Streetcar construction.Current Mood:  good Current Music: The Chemical Brothers |

Any recommendations for a good carpet cleaner? I had a carpet get soaked from a water leak and need it to be cleaned to make sure no mold grows (at least for the next six months until I move out). I've looked at Yelp, but I don't really trust a lot of the reviews there since I'm not really sure if they are peppering or actual reviews.
Thanks in advance! |

If you want to see great entertaining action then come check out the show next Friday(MAY 18th!) in Tucson, AZ at the Dunbar Auditorium. DIW (Dangerously Intense Wrestling) is a newly restarted wrestling promotion from the east coast(Philadelphia, PA) that's now in Arizona.
Tickets are only $8! You can get them at the door or you may message me on here to acquire them. Also it's family friendly so bring the kids, if they're under 10 years old, they're free to get in!

Has anyone had any experience with Redi Rentals? I'm looking to move in November, and they seem to have some properties that tickle my fancy, but the descriptions are very vague, no pictures, and I just wonder if it's worth it.
Thanks in advance! |

My parents and me are emptying out our houses/apartments in a yard sale at my parent's house. There's clothes, a swingset, bunkbed, (strike out stuff is sold) books, ect. I added a couple kitchen items.
Edit: Since I'm here and can see what we have. We have a stove, a hospital bed (or a bed that the head and feet can go up and down on), still TONS of clothes, VHS tapes, books, knives (my brother's a collector), dolls (the collectable type), toys, sheets (TONS OF SHEETS), a biiiiig box of colors, stuffed animals, a biiiiig chalkboard. And of course my lovely dancing LOL! We got 2 vaccuums and a carpet shampoo-er, a smoker, a small grill, 2 hanging from ceiling lamps, and a school desk- the type with the small desk and chair attached. And of course other stuff too! :D
Anyways it's a good sized yard sale and I just wanted to advertise it. It'll start Saturday at 7am.
The cross streets are Golf Links/Bonanza (the house is exactly halfway between Harrison and Houghton on Golf Links) just look for the signs!
We may do it Sunday if we have stuff left, and if we feel like it. But Saturday for sure! Any questions just poke me! :D

I am in the process of moving and just don't have the time and resources to clean up my old backyard. Any suggestions on who can pull weeds and pick/dispose of debris? I am looking for an affordable option (big company or small home business) that can come within the next week. |
