Skating
Went skating yesterday, for the first time in... fifteen years. I'm not as bad as I'd thought I'd be. Only fell down four times. One of which was caught on video.
You know when you're a kid, and you run around just for fun? The simple act of going very fast is, in itself, a pleasure. And as you grow older and it takes more energy to propel yourself, running becomes a chore to be avoided rather than a pleasure to be sought. Well, when you're gliding on the ice, that feeling comes back. The simple pleasure of going very fast.
Helps that I'm fleshy enough to cushion falls, I guess.
