Rollerskating!

That's right! Rollerskating! Quads. Not in-line.

A friend had her 40th B-Day party at a roller rink on Saturday.  We were skaters long before skater girls were ever a thing. When this invite came around, I can tell you we were all looking for our skates, greasing up the barrings and getting new insoles!

It was a little unhealthy, just how excited I we all were!!! 

It took a good 20 mins to get my legs back and stop looking like Bambi learning how to walk. Once I did though, got back into the swing of things like it hasn't been 20 years since I last wore my skates.  It was like I never stopped. I was surprised, really, considering I'm sedentary for the most part. If someone had punched me in the face that night, I still wouldn't have been able to wipe the smile off my face!

The roller derby girls, were super nice to everyone on the rink who couldn't skate, even after a handful of us blasted past them without effort. This resulted a little line up (common for the beginning of a speed skate) everyone is skating in a line, in a unison pace, we let them keep up until a good song came on (ballroom blitz) and off we went. They were shocked needless to say. A bunch of 40 year old broads just left them in the dust. They were great though. We quickly chatted a bunch of them up, if they were already coming over to us. No competitive attitude, just super nice. For 2.5 hours a few of us only came off the floor to get a drink, use the restroom, or blow our noses.

Fell asleep that night and woke the next morning with a cheesy grin on my face. Felt amazing Sunday. A little stiff of course, but surprised how well my body adapted, considering some easy hatha yoga is kicking my ass.... until I woke up this morning.

Ouch, holy mother friggin mercy of gawd! ouch.  It hurts to breathe! Shut up stop laughing. Will I do it again? You bet your ass I will! A few of us are already searching where to buy skates and upgrade our existing wheels. I'm heading straight for the skateboarding store. That's where I always got my gear, and changed up my wheels.

Off to buy some new outdoor wheels this weekend.

How was your weekend?
