Little bit of skating, little bit of roller skating

 I told you in my last post that I'm not skating... But a skating friend that moved away visited, and she wanted to go skating. I am still having the new SP Teri boots with blades on them, so why not go?

I would describe this skating as "public skating style", we mostly talked. It was also great to have fresh ears to share my boots troubles and to get fresh perspective on my situation. It is becoming very clear that I need custom boots...

It also gave me the perspective that if I don't try to "work" on specific skating skills I can enjoy skating. So I went skating few more times, just "public skating style".

I've also went roller skating. There is a big park close to were I live and I found a facebook group that organizes to meet to skate twice a week, on some soccer field. As I went to check it out, I found out that there is basically somebody skating there every evening... So I could go there confident that I won't be by myself, afraid that somebody would bother me, or I would fall and there would be nobody to help. 

Roller skating may be the solution to carry my love of skating through, until I figure out some ice boots that fit me...
