I was surprised how m...Oh noes! Broken toes! Ouch!<br /><br />I was surprised how much I enjoyed skating - for the first time in 25 years! When I first got on the ice, I was terrified, and could barely keep upright.<br /><br />My sisX0r kept skating around me going "keep your knees bent and you won't fall down!" but I thought I was going to die. I made my way to the baby rink and pottered about - it came back to me fairly quickly. I had years of lessons when I was a kid.<br /><br />It's exercise that doens't feel like exercise, which is an amazing thing. I didn't notice until later that my thighs were all stretched out. The only problem I had while skating were cramps in the arches of my feet.Masonic Boomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02078661963325126873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17047716.post-88357415970613480962006-12-19T11:53:00.000-08:002006-12-19T11:53:00.000-08:00Oh, my poor Mel!

And start of slowly. No one can expect to enjoy skating the first few times if you push yourself to spend an hour on the ice right off the bat - or the bench.Sugarplumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14398099931247706500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17047716.post-6466778313836774962006-12-19T09:33:00.000-08:002006-12-19T09:33:00.000-08:00It's hard to find a time-effective way of exercisi...It's hard to find a time-effective way of exercising in the winter when walking or cycling to work is less appealing. <br /><br />Of course it's so lovely and warm and sunny here I'm probably just saying that because I get fucking winter head colds anyways, apparently. Achoo.<br /><br />Ice skating is nice once the ankles stop trembling . . . if you haven't done it in awhile I reccommend wraps, even tensor wraps, on your ankles and knees until the muscles around get strong enough to preclude too too much twisting. <br /><br />And I'm sure I'll get roasted by my non-pussy Canadian readers for such an old lady-ish peice of advice . . . hey, it was all fun and games until Mistress La Spliffe tore her anterior cruciate ligament!Dread Pirate Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07457471847776673647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17047716.post-9804223582919178592006-12-19T08:36:00.000-08:002006-12-19T08:36:00.000-08:00Oh, OK, I'm me again.

OK, that and sheer laziness.<br /><br />One would hope that there would come a time in your life where you end up already having filtered out all the lame or weird or offensive friends, and all you're left with is the great friends.<br /><br />But it doesn't always necessarily work out that way.<br /><br />It's good the way that physical exercise lifts one's mood when one is in an irrational funk. I haven't been doing nearly enough of it, and it shows. Though my terror of swimming pools is not something that's going away any time soon.<br /><br />I'm going to take up ice skating. My sisX0r handed me down her spare pair of skates, so this should be awesome.Masonic Boomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02078661963325126873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17047716.post-67953519007142647342006-12-19T06:36:00.000-08:002006-12-19T06:36:00.000-08:00Me too.Me too.Sugarplumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14398099931247706500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17047716.post-36787259997533508092006-12-19T06:27:00.000-08:002006-12-19T06:27:00.000-08:00I vote for the thing about my friends being really...I vote for the thing about my friends being really great :-)Dread Pirate Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07457471847776673647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17047716.post-2920013312574070682006-12-19T06:24:00.000-08:002006-12-19T06:24:00.000-08:00Maybe the people you have as friends now you have ...Maybe the people you have as friends now you have been friends with long enough to know not to take them seriously.
