I even look short on ice skates, go figure.
Took this yesterday at Union Square in San Francisco just before I landed a triple axel. Totally kidding! I can skate fast and not fall, and that’s about it. I’ve never gotten around to learning how to brake. I usually just crash into the closest wall (or person) at full speed. Secretly, I kind of enjoy body checking things/people, and part of me wonders if I missed my calling as a hockey player…
Wow that ice needs cleaned bad! Kudos to you for being able to skate on that ice!
Someone get a Zamboni!
I’m the same way with skating and (not) braking!
This photo makes me want to find an outdoor rink and try to teach myself how to do a hockey-stop.
Happy New Year, Karen!
I wish i could ice skate, but in Colombia there is nothing similar to this. The photo makes me want to ice skate soo bad! ha ha
hope you are having a great 1rst of January:)
ps; love your blog
You don’t look short! You are super proportional (which is really the point) and you look just great!
That looks like so much fun! …and you look great, Karen!
You look great!

That’s my problem too, I can’t brake. And I still remember when I fell on my back (and head!) when I was about 4.
I really wish I could skate, it always looks like so much fun! But I just lack any sense of balance and grace, I think I may be channeling the pope the way I always manage to land on all fours like a complete nutter…
Short or not, you look like you’re having a great time and that’s most important! You look great!
