Trail skate

Vivienne Hell and I are going to go skate on the Marine Drive trail tomorrow.

I'm kind of nervous. People skate on this trail and go miles. I'm concerned about being about to go feet. OK, maybe I'll give myself yards. But still, I hope there's a nice patch of grass for me to fall down when I'm totally out of breath.

I'll have to remember to bring some reading material in my survival kit. So, along with donning all of my pads, I'll have a backpack stuffed full of water, band-aids, skate tools, cell phone, chap stick (thanks, Viv), and flares. OK, I'll leave the flares at home.
