Black Inline roller skates against a wildly patterned roller rink carpet.

My feet and brain were in their natural environment this evening, as much as my legs VEHEMENTLY disagreed with that statement.

… yikes.

I got SPEED SHAMED by a very large, old man employee that looked like Santa. Seriously waved me over to the center for the slower skaters.

NEVER IN MY LIFE…!!!

The road back to competition skating is going to be a looooong one.

I hope my ego can recover from tonight.

Hey, I'm Marie!

I skated as a kid, and have been making the long, rough road back as an adult.

This time, I have a husband to drag along with me :)

I started back in early 2019, and ran into dual roadblocks in 2020 - the pandemic, and being severely crippled by FOUR PILLS of Ciprofloxacin - an antibiotic that destroyed most of the tendons in both of my feet.

Oh, and pancreatic cancer. Fun stuff.

I've learned to walk again, and in October 2021, I started back. Again.

Here's where I'll chronicle the whole mess!
