The Day After My First Skating Lesson by Doan-Trang Tran It was a beautiful Sunday. Sunny and a little bit hot. I woke up and I was so ready to skate. I went to a local school in my neighborhood for some practice. I put on my protective gear and started rolling. There were a couple kids on the playground. Of course, we were aware of each other presence and we tried not to run into each other. It was not so hard to skate when people were around. I did fall a couple times... but like I always say, "it wasn't that bad". I skated for more than an hour. At the end of my practice, I realized that I put my wrist guards on upside down. The plastic is suppose to cover my palms but it was covering the top of my hands (don't laugh!). My middle back muscles hurt so bad. I talked to Kathie the next morning about my back problem. She suggested that I may want to round out my back like the way Eddy Matzger did. So I am going to try that on my next day.
