Only Fell Two Times

Today I went ice skating for the first time in at least five years.  Let's just say it was interesting...  First off the pair of skates I was using were fairly dull so I was sliding all over the place.  I actually told my friend that I would most likely fall down about 500 times, I was only off by 498...  I forgot how much fun it is to slide around on ice.  If baseball was played on an ice rink I think I might actually be able to slide into base, I could never do that on the real field.  I wanted to say that I prefer rollerblading over ice skating, but I think that I need to go skating with a pair that is sharp enough before I can make that decision.  I finally got the hang of actually getting up the speed, but when I hit the turns I would lose all of my speed because my skates didn't want to turn.  So skating on super dull blades has been accomplished, with only two falls, and the only injury is a sore knee, I can deal with that.
