I have been skating for about three weeks, doing two sessions a week. Sometimes indoors and sometimes outdoors with mixed results.

Today I was feeling really confident skating circles outdoors and got a little too cocky taking a sharp right turn and before I knew it I was on my bum.

I’d been afraid of falling since day one, so I’m actually really glad it happened. I fell, but more importantly I got back up and kept skating. I feel like the fear has been holding me back a bit, so now that it has happened I’m excited for the next session already.

Happy skating everyone!
