Skating day!

Today's weather was perfect for skating! The sky was overcast, but it didn't rain, so it was nice and cool. I couldn't get myself out of the house at first. There was a lot of inertia after I did my little weights work out, but I finally dragged myself out of the house in the evening. And after that, I almost didn't want to come back.... The new cable-ski park at ECP is drawing lots of onlookers and passers-by, but I'm not sure if there are many actual participants. I notice that half the people trying out don't go very far, which makes it quite an expensive failure! Maybe they need to have a little pool for lessons or something. Didn't make it to the jetty as there were too many distractions along the way and I had to be back by nightfall. Anyhow, it does make life more exciting at the lagoon area.

That's one thing I never really did in the bay area: skate along the shore in singlet and shorts. The strong winds (even in the summer) at caeser chaves park will freeze you to death. And skating isn't all the same if you're wrapped in a thick jacket and your face is freezing! East Coast Park rocks way better than the Berkeley Marina ;P!
