Avg speed 8mph

Map and stats

I didn't go skating at all last week, mostly because it was so cold (actually below freezing a couple of nights). Now things have warmed up a bit, and finally today I had the luxury to do a full ten mile skate without worrying about time. It felt very, very good.

Almost forgot to post this, it's been such a busy day....

Put in another day on the trail this morning.

6.34 miles
0h 47m 21s
Avg. speed 8.0 mph

It's actually frustrating me that I can't go farther, because of morning appointments. I was out on the trail by 6:30am this morning, when it was still pre-dawn. I can't start any earlier, it's just too dang dangerous to skate in the dark like that. Right now it is starting to get light around 6:45, so by the time I am past downtown Winter Garden and on the trail proper it is light enough to see ok. Starting any earlier, I would be just begging to fall into a sinkhole in the dark. Unfortunately, I also have an 8am chiropractic appointment three days a week, so I have to keep my skate to well under an hour in order to have enough time to get home, shower, and make it to my appointment. A few more weeks and the combination of my treatment being done plus getting lighter earlier will definitely help. I would like to be back to doing at least ten miles on an outing by February.

Went skating this morning, but the GPS was a little wonky for the first bit so the numbers aren't very accurate. I did just over six miles, and I am sure my real average speed was a little over 7 mph. I slept in later than I intended, and so didn't skate as far as I would have liked because I needed to get back home to work. Ah, well.

First day back on skates since the accident. Also first day making full use of the GPS on my iPhone, full stats below. I started slow, only did six miles at a very relaxed pace. I don't feel any great need to cripple myself.

In 2005 I was skating an average of 50-60 miles per week, had lost a fair amount of weight, and generally felt great. In 2006 I completely fell off the wagon. It started when we began the process of buying the house, and I just never got back into it. As a result I gained back nearly all of the weight I had lost, and I don't feel nearly as good as I used to. My frequent bouts of insomnia are just the latest and most obvious symptom. That being the case, it's time to get back on the horse (as it were). Today I began training for the Walt Disney World Inline Marathon coming up on Sunday, April 1st. I am also going to take an excellent piece of advice that I got from a random stranger last month: when you are getting close to a marathon, one of the most important things you have to do is pick the *next* marathon to train for otherwise you lose momentum.

So anyway, here are the results from my first day of training:
