kmunson's Journal, 15 March 2015

Hubby gave me rollerblades for my birthday present. Since it was 70 degrees and sunny on a Sunday in Minnesota on March 15th...I had no excuses to not try them out. Well I went out and I skated without falling Yeah ME! However, my feet cramped up so badly I could hardly stand. Thankfully he was with me and warned me that this would happen. He tells me after a couple times of doing it my feet will adjust and it shouldn't happen anymore. We will see...but I am proud of myself for getting out there and moving!

You go girl! Our grandson got a set for his birthday last week and I gave a short thought to getting mine from upstairs..... But it didn't last long! LOL

I'm proud of you too!! I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE rollerblading. Unfortunately I have had some injuries (non-rollerblade related) to my knees and my ortho has forbidding me from activities involving lateral movements of the knees. I was at a skating rink a few weeks ago and desperately wanted to see if I've still got it, but I aired on the side of caution and just observed. Soooo, enjoy it a little extra for me :) Your hubby is right by the way, your feel will get used to it!

Hopefully the gift also included a helmet, wrist guards, elbow guards and knee guards. Have fun.

Thanks all! jparlett the gift did indeed include a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards. Hubby tells me the wrist guards and helmet are the most important! That is what I wore when I first tried it out. I wasn't moving that fast to begin with...I used to rollerskate all the time as a child. It came back pretty quickly. At 52 years old I am sure I look pretty silly out there but have to get this big butt moving somehow. Now the seasonal temps are back so won't be doing it again for a while...but when it gets nicer again I will be back at it. Yo I hope my feet get used to it quickly! That hurt! Becky you run so you don't have to do the rollerblading. LindaLee14 I agree on the foot rub...I will have to suggest that for next time.
