Skate (b)log

05/12 practice with Northern Ohio wRECk league: practice was intense for some reason. Perhaps because it’s been two weeks since I’ve worked on any drills, hits, etc. (open skate with BRRG last week was just a meet & skate). But, I really, really wanted to skate.

Sidenote: seriously, do plow stops get any easier because my attempts get me to a creeping roll, but not a complete stop. I can’t figure how to make this work. I have three months. BLARGH. This should be like the easiest thing, but I still can’t grasp it. I imagine once you get, you just “get it.”

I was really pushing myself — with speed especially (but still couldn’t get through the blockers… ARGH!). My shins hated me a lot at the beginning of practice (and the rest of my body followed suit a day later). Somehow my scale tells me I am 110, but is not believable (that would mean I lost ten pounds in less than a day, which is highly improbable). Likely, I need a new scale.

My fitness classes begin this week — focusing on my core, then maybe starting P90x next week (MAYBE… my friends are “lending” me the DVDs), on top of skating, running and maybe yoga. Without any activity in my day, I feel very blah — unmotivated, even, so I need to get out of the apartment at least once a day to reinvigorate. Maybe I should start taking my cat for walks. He has WAY too much energy (bastard waking me up before 5am every morning).

I need more bananas…

Bruise Report: none this week, aside from a giant dinger on my knee. But that happened on my birthday when I walked right into the corner of the coffee table.

If you’re interested in skating with us at wRECk, we practice every Wednesday night at Brunswick Skate Station from 8:30-10:30 (go early if you don’t have your own gear). Just show up and bring $6. We may hit, but we don’t bite. Only a couple of us spank…
