Guess what I just did?
Dec. 12th, 2005 05:16 pmI skated for the first time in about 14 years.
Harry's started taking lessons, and I used to enjoy it, even when I
wasn't especially competent, so I thought I'd pull on the (public
rink's) skates again today and give it a try.
After one turn round the rink while clinging to the wall, I started
letting go to round the corners, then to cross the short end. I finished
with three full turns before my ankles were screaming with the agony of
a thousand suns, and I had to get off the ice, but it was fun! And I
think I'll go with Harry again next week.
