Yesterday I bought new pair of rollerblades with the notion that on nice mornings or days I can head off for a nice roll. WRONG! MD is too hilly with too many roads and cars for that shit. I'm from Ohio where I could rollerblade anywhere and not fear the inability to stop or run into a car.
I hit a hill I was not aware of and realized that there was no uphill until AFTER a major intersection. I was going sooo fucking fast and was trying my HARDEST to brake. The sidewalk was a mess and I just knew I was gonna hit the ground. I managed not to hit the concrete on the way down, but I had a decision to make. Hit the ground where there's some grass or run straight into on coming traffic. I chose the ground. It hurt. A lot. I'm thinking that was better than a car traveling at about 45 miles per hour.
I don't know what I was thinking. I was going up hills and thinking that it was such a good work-out. Stupid me, what goes up must come down.
SOOO many cars saw that happen. I got right up and laughed my ass off though. That HAD to be funny to see from their perspective. Needless to say, they're for sale on craigslist now.
