Short skate today.

I was reminded that skateboarding in my 30s won’t be easy.

My glorious yet minor injury occurred when I took a breath and pushed off at an angle. I subsequently pulled a muscle in my back. Yup, I took a breath as I started out, not moving more than 2mph, and pulled something.

At first, I told myself it could’ve been a glitch, a momentary funny bone kind of thing that would fade with a little movement.

Nope. Actually, I verbalized something close to an actual “nope” as I tried to get moving.

Wow.
