I went rollerblading today for the first time in many, many years. And I seemed to be the only one. I can remember loads of people rollerblading on Commercial Street in Provincetown during the 90s..... but today, not so much. I actually got strange looks from some. Oh well.... I had a good time.There are actually two pairs of blades at my house. Rollerblades were one of the first presents I ever bought Jeff back in 1999. At the time, I thought we would go rollerblading together. I think he has used them twice in all of these years.... so today, I used his pair since they are like new.
I went up and down the whole length of Commercial Street a couple of times and then out to Herring Cove Beach and back for a total of 1 hour, 15 minutes. Add that to the hour in the gym this morning, and I had a good day of exercise.
There has been a lot of talk in Provincetown about repaving Commercial Street. Well let me tell you, it needs to be done like yesterday. When you're on Rollerblades, you feel every hole and bump much more than in a car or on a bike. I guess that when they put in the sewer system, they ran out of money to repave the streets. The town is looking into federal stimulus money for this project. Let's hope they repave soon!

I tried roller blading once in my life [ask Kristen about this fiasco]... I was so afraid of falling that I was paralyzed... I can roller skate though - LOL
What sort of looks do you think I would get if I roller skated down Commercial St?
Good job on the work outs though, holy smokes!
We need to somehow arrange to have Alison roller skate down commercial street.
I like roller blading - I think it may be time to dust off mine as well!!
I would love to roller blade (skate) with y'all down Commercial Street!
I went through a roller blading phase phase several years ago. I bought this weird pair of roller blades, though. They've got wheels that are like small bicycle wheels, that need to be blown up, but because they're not hard I can ride them over rough terrain without a problem.
