Hola! The nice weather is finally here and I can hear the kids skating by every day. They skate down the street effortlessly, like it's as easy as breathing. I envy them.
A few weeks ago I brought out my skateboard. I was afraid to get on it. I kept hearing the doctor telling me if I break my elbow again I won't be so lucky. It took me a while but I got on the board but didn't go more than 10 feet at a time. I realized it would be safer to sit on the board so I did that and had Mike push me around the driveway. I looked ridiculous, especially with my helmet on, but I didn't care. We had fun.
This past weekend I brought the board out again. I'm not sure why, but I was more afraid this time. I'm so worried about falling that I can't focus on what I'm doing. It's pissing me off but I don't know how to change it. I'm determined to at least be able to skate in a straight line confidently. I don't know how I'm going to get to that point when I can't even get moving. Ugh! It's very frustrating.
I'd like to spend some time down at the skate park watching but I'm not sure how they kids down there would react to me. The guys I ran into over there at Christmas were older but I'm not sure if everyone would be like that. I dunno...we'll see.
I'll keep you posted on my progress, if there is any.
