Variety is the spice of life huh...

So I figured I would change things up a bit since I walked around the apartments near my house the last four days or so. Today I decided to rollerblade around the same area! Now, I can safely say it's been about 8 years since I have really rollerbladed, but it's probably been more like 10! I tried once or twice during my time at Southeastern, but as fast as I put those puppies on I took them off.

So mind you, when I was about 13, I was roller blading every Monday with the Armed and Dangerous Puppet team after our practice following school! We would have a good time and completely wear ourselves out, and back then I felt completely fine and comfortable blading around.

Now, like 10 years later, I'm not so steady in them, my balance is definitely not good, and falling is a little harder on the ego now than it was when I was a goofy child, now I'm just a goofy adult. Anyway, I made it around the apartments with out falling, or killing myself in the process. I can assure you I am completely worn out! It's a great work out my lower body, which is definitely a good area for me to focus on to put it politely :) Plus my heart will thank me later for the cardiovascular workout. Okay, right now I feel pretty good, but I'm not really looking forward to waking up to the pain I will experience tomorrow morning!

So anyway, I had the full gear knee pads, elbow pads, and wristguards, all except the helmet, I don't like hat hair! I started out really slow, and my neighbor asked if I was getting excercise or trying not to fall down, I told him today I'd be happy just to not fall down, but I think I accomplished both! I didn't bother to time myself, as I really didn't want to know and everytime I'd gain enough speed and feel confident, I'd realize I probably shouldn't do that, get a little nervous and slow down, I guess it will just take some getting use to again! On the way back I finally picked up a comfortable speed, and on my way home he said he didn't see any blood, so I guess I accomplished the goal!

I hope everyone is having as much fun acheiving their New Year's Resolutions as I am!!! Later!
