Rollerblading the Strand
One of the only exercises that I've been able to consistently do and enjoy over the years is rollerblading. The location where I do this is also key. I love skating from El Porto down to the end of Hermosa Beach and back along "the Strand" in the South Bay.
Last night I got some good skating in after work which helps to ease the stress of the day and align my perspective on life a bit. Generally this stretch of beach is almost like a paradise with beautiful homes and beautiful people all playing volleyball, surfing or just enjoying the SoCal life style.
But I just had to laugh as I was cruising along as I noticed ... a thirty something guy doing a wheelie on his bike showing off as though he were still in high school. Just when I was getting over how lame that was his 40 something buddy went by doing the same... could it get worse you ask? Shortly after that I passed a 20 something girl skating and listening to her ipod while singing at the top of her lungs, off key, American Idol loser style.
The contrast really struck me as interesting on this particular evening.
