First day back skating in two months, and I had a spectacular bellyflop-fall in the middle of a block. Thankfully, the girls behind me were able to skate around, and no one ran into me. But I have a rather impressive lump on my left knee and a lovely bruise on my right. (The downside to synchronized skating: your arms are usually otherwise occupied, so when you fall, it's your knees that take the brunt of it.)
