More skating natter

[dreamshark]

I am now taking skating lessons twice a week, Saturday morning at the Bloomington Ice Garden and Monday evening in St. Louis Park. I've been thinking I could make more progress, not to mention stay more limber, if I could only find someplace to skate in the middle of the week. Another skater at the StLP rink tipped me off to the Richfield arena. Like every other suburban rink, they have open skating on Sunday afternoon. But unlike any other I've found, they also have open skating on Wednesday evening! I'm planning to check it out tonight. If that works out, I'll have the 3-times-a-week exercise/sport that I've been looking for to replace my summer biking. My cold is essentially cleared up now, and I'm looking forward to skating while not sick!

Good for you mom! I hope it works out at the Richfield arena. Have you been skiing again lately?

I think I went skiing one more time before I went to Arizona, but not since. Mostly it's been either too warm or too cold, and there hasn't been much snow since Christmas. The Richfield arena was fine, except for the annoyingly tinny sound system. It wasn't too crowded and admission was only $3.50. And it's practically on the way home from work. I think I'll make it a regular Wednesday night thing. Have you been skating again?

Terriffic! Sounds like it's fun as well as good for you.
