St. Vivienne and the Quarter Mile Markers
Vivienne Hell was kind enough to escort me on my first Marine Drive path skating excursion.
As predicted, I was winded after about 300 yards. Or was it 200? Fortunately, the path is marked at quarter mile increments.
St. Vivienne is blessed with a lovely amount of patience, which I benefitted from. I had to stop at each quarter mile mark to get my breath, take a rest, and convince my legs to stop shaking. She stopped and skated around in circles.
Well, if nothing else, I have a starting point to build from. As Vivienne said, next time I do an extra quarter mile. Then I skate a half mile without stopping. There is so much room for improvement.
I was feeling a bit down and I was talking to my friend Julia. She said "Don't forget that you broke you ass six weeks ago." Sometimes I think I do forget that I didn't just take a month off because I felt like it. I did it because I needed to. And I'm working from a different starting point after the injury.
I'm excited to get out on the trail again and see what the benefits of the hard work I plan on putting in.
