Finally Some Exercise!

I barely work out, exercise or anything like that. Once of the main reason for that is that I’m just lazy and I really do not like going to work out. The only reason I stay slim is because I have a high metabolism. That basically allows me to eat whatever I want and not have to worry about getting fat!

Anyways it was nice out yesterday so Ashley and I decided to go look for some roller blades so we could go roller blading outside. Finding the skates was an adventure in itself. I wanted hockey style skates because I like the way they feel and I am used to playing on them because I used to play hockey. I was surprised that so many sporting goods stores did not sell hockey style skates. Like where are kids these days supposed to buy skates if they want to play roller hockey? I was also very surprised to see that the hockey section in these stores has extremely small. It was basically a handful of sticks, gloves, and some tape. I remember when I played hockey sporting goods stores would have well over 100 sticks to choose from, tons of different skates, basically anything you needed for hockey they would have. So eventually at the 3rd store I was able to find a pair of hockey skates. It was the only pair they had!

After Ashley and I got our skates we were able to skate the rest of the afternoon. It was nice to be able to do something together and get a workout at the same time. I was surprised at how well Ashley could skate too! Getting exercise is nice and makes you feel like you have more energy for the rest of the day. Ashley and I wanted to go skating today but looking out the window this morning it is raining, gotta love Pittsburgh weather!

I love when the whether is nice. I’m the completely opposite than you though, I love to workout. Just the other day my roommate kept saying how he dreaded taking this protein shake. I was like why do you hate it so much? and he replied “You actually like working out”. And I was surprised he even asked me that. If I could do what I wanted to do everyday without doing anything else, my life would consist of, working out, baseball, sleeping, and doing whatever I felt at the time.

I remember when I was young, everyone in my neighborhood would get together almost everyday and play roller hockey in our culdasack (i don’t know how to spell that word ahah). But, what I vaguely remember is that a kid had some i think ccs roller hockey blades, and that they rolled forever. I had some generic roller blades that I had to kick/push every second to keep up with him.

yeah I remember we used to play hockey on the street all the time. I used to have a pair of CCM’s and I loved them. I also had a pair of mission’s that the pair I just got, thank god the sports store had them!

Hey, I’ll be at Club Julian most likely for part of this summer before I move out of Pittsburgh (May, June, some July).

You should join up. Both my bro and girlfriend are members (or.. were) and I’ve worked out there few summers ago the whole summer (Student Summer fee ~$125).

Anyways, they’re great. Personal trainers, great clean, up-to-date workout area and it’s pretty big too.

Too bad they don’t have a racquetball court :p

Skating’s fun though. I miss doing it!
