Another video

Getting better and better! ๐Ÿ›ผ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’–โœจ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป My first ‘authentic’ fall happened tonight–meaning it happened while I was skating. (The first one happened during a mini panic attack while I was immobile on the skate floor!) Someone collided into me and I fell on my butt. Again. I also slammed my back and shoulders into the floor. But, these are risks we skaters take.ย  And, my husband is right– if I had been wearing my “booty shorts”, there likely would be no pain. But, since I didn’t have them on, I’m going to have a bruised left cheek. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ™„ย  But, I’m not so easily defeated! I got up, left the floor, sat down at our table, took a short break, then got right back out and skated some more. Nothing keeps me down! If I can conquer my own mind, as I had to do a month or two ago, I can certainly get over this. Somebody just ran into me. No big deal. And it’ll keep happening. I would rather be run into than run into someone. I’d feel pretty guilty if I knocked someone else down. ๐Ÿ˜”

Anyway, here’s that video. My Jocelyn took it. Aaron is featured, being his usual class clown self. Enjoy!

Got my groove back!

Last night’s session went very well.  Each time I step (roll, rather!) out on the floor, I feel so right. Natural.  Even more so than before.  Now I just need to focus on confidence and gradually gaining speed.  And, most of all, ditching that blasted skate mate! ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

A snap I took Sunday.ย  My skates are still the prettiest things on four (8) wheels! ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿฉตโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’–

I know what you’re all thinking. “When is she going to post pictures ofย  actual skating?” The answer is simple. When I get good! When I’ve reached max confidence. Eventually, I’ll even be taking pictures of myself! ๐Ÿ›ผโœจ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป

Perhaps a fitting end to the post would be some long forgotten memes. It certainly has been a while since I posted any!

More skating

Here’s Jo, Richard, and Nathaniel.  Yep, Nathaniel was the boy Jo used to like–I think.  Unless she just talked about him because he’s crazy and super fun.  I adore this group; so grateful the Riccardis first invited us a year or so ago now!! What a great family, and their friends (Nathaniel and Richard) are now ours!! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿค— So many good memories made, and more to come!!


Getting some cardio in this am…!! ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ฏ๐Ÿชถ
