Yep, I’m back at it. Although I only have one speed and it’s not too fast. I do enjoy the sport though and will continue going to skate practice for as long as I’m able.
I started skating with Texas Speed Club when I was in my mid 40’s because my daughter was on the team. The team skates at Playland Skate Center in north Austin. Unfortunately the heavy traffic from south Austin to north Austin got to be too frustrating about 15 years ago, so I stopping making that drive and skating. Last October my youngest grandson decided he liked to skate and wanted to give it a try, so we went to practice and I got hooked again on speed skating.
Skates on since retirement. I have been going to practice at Playland on the weekends when traffic is not so horrific. It’s a serotonin boost and a sport for all ages, from Tiny Tots (5 and under) to elderly Premier (65 and up). 🙂
My goals are to remain upright and stay out of the way of the fast skaters. Cheers!
I really like this skating tips video for fitness and for speed skating.
I love rollerblading! I’ve only ever done it outside and need to get back into it!!! Skate on Beth!!!
Thanks, Suzanne! I will skate on for sure. 🙂
