Workout

Monsieur Bear and I did something yesterday that we haven't done for ages.
We went ice skating!

What a workout!
I have muscles sore that have not been used for ages.
Has anyone else out there done anything like this?

The last time I skated was when I was 14. Do not think I will try again at my age, but I am very proud that you did and had fun! Good exercise as well.

Where on earth did you find skating bears? You are amazing. Please tell me how many bears you have. I mean, if you decide to chop down a tree,do you have a Lumberjack Bear. You are too precious.

Those skating bears are adorable, and I'm so impressed that you and Monsieur B. went skating. Isn't it exhilerating? I love ice and roller skating but dont' get to do it often enough. Last time I went was last winter.

What a great way to spend the day.

It has been a few years since I "donned" the blades, but I am sure it is like bike riding.
Good for you!

My goodness, I am doing good to stay upright with a walker. I haven't ice skated since I was a teenager. Because the Broadmoor rink was so far from my home I took up roller skating instead and thought I was quite good. I did a lot of dance steps, etc. but no more.

Did you do a triple toe loop? I bet you did. I love those bears!

Wow, that means you must be feeling better! It's hard when muscles you forgot you had start to hurt but it's a 'beneficial pain'.
Are you going to do it again??
They have an ice-rink in town for Christmas but as I've never dared try it it's too late for me to start now.

HBL and I love to roller blade but sometimes I wonder how well my bones will love it if I crash. LOL

We have actually been talking about giving skating a try again - neither of us has gone in a really long time. We will probably both break our necks! :)

PS - my sympathies to you and your fellow countrymen for the loss of your heros :(

Good for you! Sounds like great fun. My thighs are hurting today from climbing a lighthouse. Skating sounds like more fun!

God the skating grannies! Braver than I I'm afraid. I tried it once as a youngster and ended up crashing into the barrier. The most adventurous I am these days, is a walk in the bush or swinging the leg over a horse! Can't do that without the assistance of a milk crate!

I haven't been on ice skates for years.
But it something I enjoy.

Coffee is on.

What a great idea - I think my skates are around here, somewhere!

Wendy said...

Good for you! I don't like skating - too cold for me. But glad you had a good time.

Tash said...

That's so great. Nice way to commemorate with a couple of skating bears.

How wonderful Bear....and what great fun. I haven't skated in so many years...I'd hate to think what I'd be like out there on the ice. I use to just love it. Bravo to you!

me said...

what fun!! i haven't been ice skating in years...my kids want to go but we haven't managed yet this holiday break! i've never ice skated on an indoor rink though, only outdoors on a large pond or lake...

I tried skating recently and will NEVER do so again unless I'm in good shape. Believe me, the cows will come home before that happens!
