I had a rough Summer of minimal skating, which I blame on myself. I do shift work, so I was going in at 6pm, but before that I was basically daycare for my daughters. We did a lot of fun things, riding bikes, swimming, etc., but I started slacking on going skating. Then I'd get frustrated when I would go because I wasn't skating enough and I suck, so I need to skate at least 3X/week. Started getting that empty dreadful feeling in my gut that maybe I was done, that I was moving on into fully domesticated bliss. Started a new shift beginning of October, and have been going more regularly. I'm going to be 43 this December and just want to keep charging as best I can each year. Not doing anything spectacular trick wise, but I try to go as fast as I can. I want to keep skating until I'm physically unable. It really is the best feeling thing you can do on wheels.
