A little bit of pain never hurt anyone

My butt is somewhat numb.. not sure if from cold or working it too hard. My ankles feel like they've been in a lumpy vice for several hours. My thighs are feeling a bit strange. My ears are hot. My fingers are cold. My back has this dull sensation that I suspect will escalate to full scale pain by tomorrow.

The cause of all this agony? I went ice skating tonight :)

Jim and John came along, but they only stayed for just over an hour (they didn't want to do themselves injuries before they go off skiing next weekend). I wasn't going to pay $14 and then leave after an hour though, so I stuck around. It was such a quiet night I even had the ice to myself for a little while. The most there ever were on the ice aside from myself was just four other people. It was actually really good, I got lots of practise spinning around and going backwards and spinning back to forwards again. Spent probably and hour and a half just practising that (Jim can do it so effortlessly, makes my attempts look pretty pitiful). I actually stayed til the place closed at 9pm, so over three hours there :)
