We, the TEAM-ASHA, train for the marathon only on Monday's and Wednesday's and go for long runs on Saturday's. One of the volunteers was generous to give out some guest passes to the Ice Skating rink at Galleria. It was supposed to be a fun trip but ended up being a good cross training session for all of us.
Six of us from Irving ASHA team reached the rink around 8 pm. Although I had done the Ice skating thing only once before in my life, about two years back in the same place, I was nervous at first. It helped that we had a couple in the ASHA team (the couple who donated the guest passes) who were taking classes in the rink. They gave some good advice to get started. I also met an AID volunteer/ friend at the rink, who has been taking classes at the rink. This dude also offered some valuable suggestions on how to skate on Ice.
Following all the advice and falling multiple times, I was able to skate around decently for a beginner. We did this for about an hour. I sweated profusely in the rink and my legs were sore by the time I was done. We were so excited by this that 5 of us who came there signed up for taking classes starting in August. I am really looking forward to the classes !
It was all good fun with a great bunch of people. Again, a special thanks to the couple who gave us the guest passes to the rink !
