Had to force myself off the couch after a long day of work and a long week of staying up late (Dinosaur Jr twice!!!). I got to Valmont shortly before 9pm and my energy level was seriously low. I skated absolutely horrible. I felt like I had never skated before. Even kickflips felt weird. I took awhile to do front 50s on the low part, noseslides even felt weird. Flip tricks were impossible. I was wearing the size 12 PJs. They felt huge. I tried to do a few front lips after the grate, but I kept cracking my board a tiny bit worse with each attempt. So I moved down to the curb area and managed to slide a few lipslides and contemplate shoving out. But I ran out of energy and decided to leave. Ugh.
