Out of my rut

I got up this morning a bit later than normal this morning, but still determined to get out to skate this morning. Then, I went to where I normally park, and that area was all full. I was beginning to think I wasn't meant to skate today, but I parked down by Washington, meaning I had to walk my board. Then I realized there was a fair (of sorts) being set up as well. I was feeling discouraged, but decided to skate, even though I had to be back to feed my meter in 45 minutes.

So, I went skating, having to maneuver around the people crowding the boardwalk. I decided that today I would try to skate much further down. I think I managed to skate further than I ever have today, back and forth around the full distance of the boardwalk. I know that's not a major feat, but probably is for me. I skated to the place that the boardwalk really ends, and the pedestrian path starts to get all curvy. I actually want to try that soon, helping me to work on my turns. I still need to keep practicing going faster, but it's time to seriously work on some turns now, I think.
