Friday Night Skating
Friday evening, with my friends trotting around the usual Hollywood scene, I decided to opt for a more athletic fare... Friday Night Skate. This incredibly fit group of individuals from all walks of life completes a 12 mile skate through the streets of Los Angeles. Ever watched the movie Hackers? Sort of like that. Hoodlum-esque skating style. It took me two whole weeks to finally build up the courage to go. 12 miles is LONG. What happens if I get sick? Could I leave the group? How far will I be from my car? Are there any bathroom breaks? I closely examined the route and realized that it ran in a loop. At any point and time, even if I had to leave the group, I would only be 3 miles from my car. Turns out the evening was a FABULOUS affair that left me wanting more. I felt slight anxiety only once and calmed myself down by calling a friend during a break.
