Last night my friends and I went out to celebrate what my one friend Susie called, me "turning double fourteen". We decided to go to the Western Rollarama and a couple of bars. The best part was that my friend, Anne gave me a tiara and a scepter to skate around with the whole time and so all the little girls there kept wishing me happy birthday. I think the DJ (a motherly type) thought it was a little weird to see a bunch of old people skating. But she didn't yell at me to take off my tiara even though all night she had to keep screaming to people to take off their hats. Now, it might seem funny that skating could be a workout, but I am counting it as one because after I made the first round my shins were screaming at me. I am actually surprised that I am not sore today. We all had a good time, but the worst surprise is that I can't do my 13-14 mile run today. No, not because I partied too hard, but because I am sitting here at work starting a massive project that is due on Tuesday. Fun. I am going to try and get the run in tomorrow, but it will be hard to get motivated without the group with me. :(

Sure you can consider it a run. As long as you're using your muscles. I'm surprised you're not sore though cause it uses different muscles which I would think would lead to DOMS. Good luck with the work thing and the long run.
Hi Runnergrrrl,
Nice site. I am almost in exactly the same scenario as you. I am also training for my first marathon, and I am blogging about it and I am a graphic designer! Pretty weird, huh? Anyway, keep up the good work!

Hi runnergrrl, nice posts here. Usually I can't remember what I think of when I run; not enough oxygen to the brain kind of thing. Thanks for sharing...See you at the Heart Mini??
Emily! I didn't know you had a blog! Now I will be stalking you online when bored at work!
