*ahem*

It's BEEEEEAUTIFUL outside today. Sun is shining, birds are singing, snow is virtually GONE! And... I'm going rollerblading instead of the gym tonight.

SWEEEEEEET!

(That is all, folks.)

Observations from the Trails

Lovely evening. Got home around 5pm, strappped on blades, off I went. I live right alongside the Don River trail, and it's very peaceful.

Anyway, things I noticed as I bladed:
a) Kids make it look so damn easy.
b) I am definitely 31.
c) Puddles... not my friend. Not my blades friend either.
d) There are groups of muscles in the ass that are used at no other time than Rollerblading. You can work out regularly, squat, lunge, lift. Push. Poke. Prod whatever and you STILL won't encounter said muscle groups until you're rollerblading. Or more precisely, until after you've STOPPED blading and sat down for a wee bit.

All in all. I feel good. Content. Exhausted in a nice way. Think I'm going to have a mug of herbal tea (no caffeine for me), and snuggle into my bed with a not-so-dry book. Terry Pratchett to my rescue.

Tomorrow, I'll go to the gym and do lower-body resistance training to iron out the kinks of today's workout. Yuppers.

Ah. Fitness. It's a joy and a challenge.
