RollerSkater Dave: First skate of the year (19. Mar. 2003 05:03)

I hadn't skated in 2 weeks (rolled my ankle, walking, no less...duh) and my calves and the arches of my feet are sore. The ankle feels good enough to rollerskate this weekend, hopefully. I miss the vert ramp. It's amazing how quickly the body adjusts to being a couch potato. If you're not injured, get out there and roll! Yippee, spring is here (Thursday, officially) I can relate to the aches and pains. Even though I do a lot of walking and stationary bike over the winter, my shins get sore as all get out the first few skates. BTW, remember the discussion about toe protection a while back. I came across these skates on rollerskates.com . Riedell 166 quad roller hockey skates. Hard toes and well padded ankles. A little hard on the wallet though at around $400 US.

Content:	HOO HAA !!!! The snow is finally melting and I was able to get out on the street on my skates for the first time in 4 months. Legs felt a little awkward and tentative at first, but they started coming around after a few minutes. Hopefully the warmth will keep up and allow me to get to the ramp soon. RS Dave
