skateboard more

Skateboard more such as skate parks

i want to lose 10 pounds..and i’d rather skate then run..
i haven’t been on my board in months like 7…im used to night sessions in parking lots with my room mates…but im in a new state and i have no one to go out with…my neighborhood is kinda dangerous i’d have to drive to somewhere safer..i dont have a car..and the cops would probably try to arrest me…

basically im scared of it dont know why

The weather is nice, my board’s in my car. The flip flops hinder it.

I would like to start to skateboard because i think it would be fun and i would enjoy it.

I love using skateboarding as a workout. It beats the gym any day! I have gotten pretty comfy with the double stride and next week I am going to start practicing going natural foot (I am a goofy footer) as a way to work on balance and motor skills. I will be in the parking lot for that one!

Finally i did this, but it was last year in the not-winter. I will start again soon!

Last night L3 and I went to the Santa Monica beach to exercise. She ran and I boarded. It took me a little while to get a swing of it again, but started going pretty fast towards the end (I was trying to push L3 to run faster and faster). For a cool down she walked and I tried to skate switch foot…it was like learning to walk again. But I have a feeling working on those motor skills would be really good for me :-)

So, yesterday I was headed to the beach to surf, but after I had packed everything, I remembered I hadn’t packed my leash. So I ran around like crazy for 20 minutes, but it is gone. I called my friends I was supposed to meet, and told them to count me out.

I was so bummed, and really wanted to be outside. So I mustered up the courage to take out the skateboard for the first time in years and ride in the streets of Venice. I am not particularly good at this, so I was a little worried about cars and looking stupid.

Don’t know if I did look stupid, but I ended up down at the front walk. First I stayed away, because there are so many people on the front walk, but after a couple of blocks, I turned across a plaza and went for it. I glided by Harry Perry who said “Hola” (enough to make my day). I ended up by the Venice pier and found my friends. They said the surfing was just sucky, so I didn’t miss out much.

Today, I did the same thing all over again (minus Harry), and I think next week-end I might be ready to hold a bottle of water while skating. I will check off this goal once I can go get coffee and skate with it home after a couple of sips.

I’ve slacked off in my skating lately, mostly because no one around here skates anymore. I find it much more pleasurable to skate with others. Two years ago I was skating all day, every day. Now, I skate maybe once a week or so. Time to start skating more!

i was thinking about skating yesterday. but i didn’t :(
