Urban Poly Princess

Looong day at work followed by skating at the Fun Park. It is easier now which is encouraging since EVERY day should get better. I did just 3 rounds of the rink BUT that's one more than yesterday AND it was easier although I still wasn't racing OR doing any tricks. I saw Nikki who was celebrating one of her nephew's birthdays there. I did fall my second round BUT yeah big deal. The North side without the wall is still a little troubling for me BUUUT it gets better EACH day even if it's only been 2 days so I don't really care.

My friend Katie's roommate is on a roller derby league out of Ogden. People are encouraging which is nice. It is EXPENSIVE however but it's worth it to me right now. I found some inline skates I want on Amazon.com-Big 5 Sports and the Sports Authority have skates but when I look these up their reviews suck. My extreme skater friend showed me a website where he buys some VERY nice skates. The top of the line skates are over $400. I know the skates at Fun Park are crappy quality which he also warned me about AND I don't want to get used to that. I'm going to wait for Amazon which may take longer BUUUT will ultimately save me money. I can't wait for the summer so I can find some concrete somewhere to skate. The skates I want are about a hundred dollars. I will upgrade later to some for about $200 BUT I don't think I'll ever spend $400 on skates. I didn't skate much but the improvement is huge. It makes me think I need to incorporate other daily activities and just chip away at my ignorance in OTHER areas too.

Following skating I went to visit Heidi Kupiec. Melissa met me there. She is very nice and I enjoyed visiting with her.

I'm hungry now AND I need to pump some iron too!!!
