It has, as of late, been too slick to go running outside. Not to mention it's a bit chilly too. So what's one to do for a bit of exercise? Ice skating, of course!
A club from the chemistry department hosted a couple of hours of skating at the university's skating rink -- free of charge for chemists and their friends! So we trundled off to find the little building, nooked in plain sight but never noticed, for a little bit of old-fashioned cross training.
In the end, we both agreed that some of the novelty has worn off since our childhood. Now that we live somewhere that regularly is frozen outside, going inside to freeze just doesn't hold the same pizzazz. But there is still something absolutely charming about taking off your skates, donning your own shoes, and realizing you've forgotten a little bit how to walk.
