Up Hill All the Way Baby! Start the Count Down

Coming off of yesterday's practice I was a little bummed but eager to try again today. I waited till the evening when it cooled down and decided I would skate the 3mi home from dance rehearsal. The shortness in distance is misleading as to its difficulty. I would choose the 15mi bike path over this up hill, multi-surface, broken concrete rout home everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.

Today, however, I was filled with energy and determination. I wanted to prove to myself that I was a capable skater and a complete person because, you see, when you can't do what seems to come to everyone else with ease it feels like there is something broken about you. So I began on the short but treacherous journey home.

YEE HAW I DID IT!

Now that I know I can skate long distances and I can tame the uphill beast I begin the count down to my Summer goal. By September 1st I want to skate from Ashland to Medford and back with a 45min break. I'm not trying to kill myself. That's a full 32 miles. Start the clock!

The Incredible FALK!
