Getting on the ice again

I never thought that I would do skating again.  Well, yesterday, I did it for almost two hours.  At first, it was supposed to be for fifty minutes but it extended for another fifty minutes.  It broke a long period of not skating.  I think that last time I was on skates, I was maybe 7 years old.  It's the last time I was on skates.  I know it is not really creative activity, it is a more learning one.

The old say about never forgetting that kind of skill is true.  I was able to stand up on the skates without problem.  The thing that no ones told: I felt really rusty.  I also felt less secured on my skates too.  I needed to get used to be on skates again.  More practice is what I was needing.  Of course, at the end, I feel a bit more at ease. 

, I will have to get used to that.  I will do some skating again in the next few weeks.  Strangely, I learned a few things yesterday about skating.  Skating lessons had really changed since I took mine when I was a child.  The children learn a bunch of things straight at the beginning, in the first class.  There was even a way to go backward that I didn't knew.  In my classes, the way going to going backward was not really covered much.  So, maybe I will be able to hone my backward skating at the same time that the learners I will be with.  Learning a new skill is a winner with me, be it on the creative side than the sport side.
