Cool 2/27 - Wednesday

I'm so excited!! I can actually skate across my carpeted living room floor and I can step glide across the kitchen's tiled floor!
I got some good advice on line and one of the things they said is that you need to practice walking in your skates with your toes slightly out and you need to walk on the 'balls' of your feet not your heals by leaning forward slightly.
I will tell you this, posture is everything when you start.
I had so much better balance and I didn't get the sensation that I was about to fall over!
My next step is to practice standing on one foot at a time for a small period of time. I'm taking a break now because my muscles are sore and tired. I've been trying to rollerblade 5 days straight.
I take it that isn't a good idea till I get 'conditioned'.
