Rollerbam

[eonen]

Went rollerblading. Took advantage of the weather, hopped a bus to the U-District, and went down the Burke-Gilman Trail on the ol' 'blades.
Sweet merciful crap, am I ever out of shape! Whoo! I obviously need to do this a few more times before the Solstice Parade or I will die! Glad I['m finding this out now. But no matter how I look at it, this is

YOU'RE out of shape? Since WHEN? O.O;;

Oh, for quite some time now, actually.

Don't let the bod fool you...I'm carrying around at least 20 pounds more than I probably should, (I used to weigh in at about 155; now I'm just under 180) but that's actually the least of it.
What I really mean when I say I'm out of shape is how much physical activity I can perform without going all wheezy and tired. Right now, the answer is, "Not a whole lot."

I used to be in great shape; I played Lazer Tag every week and that was hours of running around. Now...now I can barely do an hour of Ultimate Frisbee without feeling way tired by the end of it.

So when I say I'm out of shape, I don't mean that I'm a big ol' chub--even those extra pounds don't make me look fat--but rather that I can't sustain prolonged exercise for very long. And I'd like to get that back...hence the rollerblading. If this weather holds out, I'm goin' back out there tomorrow...

Ooh, I was in the parade last year, too. Wanna see the pictures? WARNING! Not safe for work! I was in the part of the parade that involved nakidity!

Is, um...that the part of the parade you wanted to be in, or were you thinking of a more clothed capacity?
