How do these things work?
Hello! I am typing with my scrubs on (I just got in from work) and my rollerblads on...haha. I don't intend on going anywhere, I just wanted them on. I've had these things for about 3 years and allll this time I thought they didn't fit. Hmm, my feet must have grown because they fit perfectly!
Now, the hard part. Does anyone know how to work these things? I saw that only ONE skate thing has a break?!?! How is that going to stop me? Plus, I just practiced in my kitchen (it's tile) and how do you turn? I took ice skating but those turn easy..these you litteraly need to pick up your foot to turn? Am I doing this right?
I was driving home from work and remembered that I had these things. Then I thought that now the weather is beautiful (well, for right now...I do live in New England) so after work I can go to the lake and skate that a few times. Once around is roughly 3 miles. If I do it every other day and go twice around, 6 miles is pretty good exercise. Right?
I need to buy a helmet, elbow pads, and knee pads.....I know I will fall a billion times and do not want to end up like some of my patients. I wish my fiance was home. Then I could go outside and he could hold my hand as I go 1mph down the drive way. ::tap tap:: I guess I will at least continue to sit here with them on...It makes me feel I'm working out.
