woohoo! - rollerblades finally
Meghan Noecker wrote: Well, I finally found a pair of rollerblades for my nephew. I picked them up Sunday night. I wasn't able to take my nephew with me, so I bought them on faith that they would fit, and he would like them., But they are great. Praactically brand new, looks to be a fancy kind of speed skate. And only $25. Charlie loves them. We went skating on Monday and again today. We went further today in less time. We had fun both days, and I got a good workout. He is definitely faster than me.Taller, stronger, and better skates. So, I am going to have to work hard to keep up. I do have one advantage. He prefers toskate upright, and I already tend to lean forward. If I can improve my technique, then that will increase my speed. Also, part of my speed issue is conditioning and asthma. I had to slow down because of my breathing, not because of being tired. So, as that improves with conditioning, my speed will pick up easily. Anyway, I just wanted to post how thrilled I am to finally be able to do my most fun exercise. It sure beats working out at home I can't wait til next week to go again. -- Meghan & the Zoo Crew Equine and Pet Photography http://www.zoocrewphoto.com Glad to see you were able to find him a pair of skates. Enjoy the new sport! I traded my rollerblades for a pair of the old quads a few years ago. Now even the quads sit in the closest Anyone need a good pair of slightly used quad skatesg Beverly |

That's great Meghan! Glad you found an affordable, good pair of skates for
your nephew. I think exercising is probably more enjoyable with a partner. That's why I've found a swimming buddy. We were supposed to start already, but I got sick with a bad cold. I'm much better now so next week it will be off to the pool for sure! It's great that you've found a good exercise that you love to do.
