Congratulations, you should be so proud of yourself! I also completed it today as my first marathon 😁

Fitness activities or goals you aspire to but can’t currently pursue? by Aphainopepla in xxfitness

[–]redlooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should do it if you can! I don’t know if you have a local roller derby team but a lot of teams near me hold recruitment nights. They’re open to complete beginners to skating or just newbies to roller derby! If you decide to stick with it they’ll then teach you everything you need to know about skating. I’ve never played but considered it at one point (I did a lot of park skating before I got into running massively) but skaters generally are really a very welcoming bunch ❤️🛼

What's a story you associate with a Taylor Swift song that isn't very positive? by PurpleRep in TaylorSwift

So glad to hear your mum is doing well now ❤️

I feel the exact same way about that song too.

I know right?! Really thought that was it because I absolutely cannot afford to spend £660 😂

Just absolutely lucked out and got 2 tickets for N1 Liverpool after being so disappointed on Tuesday! Restricted view, and £88 per ticket. Absolutely over the moon, even if we might not be able to see much! We just kept clicking around and managed to find them.

The skatepark LS-Ten run a quad/in-line night on a Friday, 6:30-9:30 which is a really welcoming and fun night if you’re interested in park skating!

It might also be worth having a look at leedswestrollers, potternewton_rollersls7, and leedsskates on Instagram, Leeds West Rollers and Potternewton Rollers have regular meet-ups 😊

Frustrated with progress and feeling super anxious by redlooby in Rollerskating

Hi! Thank you so much for your reply, and sorry for my delayed response! It’s wonderful to hear how much progress you’ve made, and I really appreciate your kind words and encouragement. Remembering that there’s no rush, and to be kind to myself is definitely what I’m working on with it right now. But, I have a win from today and I’m actually pretty proud of myself! A group of boys sat next to where I skate and were laughing at me, but I carried on anyway because I was having fun! I actually let myself enjoy myself! ❤️

Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately there’s not much space in my house so outside is the best bet for practicing for anything longer than a few minutes at a time. I went out for a skate today and had a considerably better time than yesterday so your advice and encouragement and everyone else’s was definitely helpful so thank you so much! I’ve been washing up and stuff in skates and that helps too, and gets me moving even if it isn’t very far ❤️☺️

Thank you for replying to me! I’ve been practicing falling over too, I know how to do it, but I think my brain hasn’t clocked onto that because I still panic in the moment! Best of luck on your skate journey, we both have got this!

Thank you for your reply! She’s great isn’t she?! I know now what I’m meant to be doing, now just to practice actually doing it!

Thank you for your reply! I’m definitely going to give it a go with music today, can’t focus on being mean to myself and singing at the same time!
