Finally got off my lazy butt and went roller skating at a special skatercise session at one of the local rinks. It was quite the educational experience getting back on wheels after not doing for 20 years. The first place I felt it was in the calves. Had to take a few breaks in between until I got a feel for my skates again. I feel several times as I was trying to do some stuff I used to so that was just a friendly reminder that I really need to slow down a bit before doing that again. I still want to at least get where I can skate backwards again. We'll see I guess. I'm currently using a ice pack on the side of my leg from one of the spills. That particular fall I even had difficulty getting back up.
It turned to be quite the workout. The funny thing is after all the spills I still kept at it was there for at least 3 hours.
I'm going to see if I can make another public session before I go back to work and see if I can stick to it. Doc has been after me to get exercise anyway. Oh yeah. Turns out I'm probably the youngest in this group
They're a nice bunch of folks and it helps that the seem to support one another and we have varied level of skaters
amongst the group that can give pointers to some of the newbies to help them develop a better technique. That's all for now. I'll try to find another subject to write about soon.
