This winter I have resolved to stay active. I plan to walk or hike whenever I can and have signed up for Yoga classes at a local studio. Today I intended to take my kids to city hall for a skate around the circular rink they have out front. In summer it's a beautiful water fountain, the perfect back drop for the farmer's market. We drove by yesterday on the way to the library and saw people skating. The kids begged me to go so since we already had skates, all we needed was for them to be sharpened. Well I decided to buy a pair for myself.
My kids were very excited. I was very nervous. I had visions of epic falls with bones cracking and people crying (me). But no, I did fine. Like getting on a bicycle. I wasn't fast or very pretty but I did it. And my legs are feeling funny, good, but funny.
We plan to go every week now until the ice melts. It should be a great way to keep moving even when the snow threatens to keep us inside.
