Ice Skating

Well, it's warming up here in Texas. The high today is supposed to be 87 degrees. After a few weeks in Utah, it feels VERY warm to me. So, today, I went the one place I knew I could find ice and cold around here.. the ice skating rink.

Barefoot running may (or may not) have contributed to my PF injury. But, there is no doubt it has strengthened my ankles. I found this out when my Dad and step mom offered to take Amelia ice skating, something she loves to do and has taken lessons in. I decided to try to skate for a bit as well- and ended up skating for hours! Skating for a half hour used to hurt my ankles and the bottom of my calves.

Oh, and ladies- ice skating works your inner thighs! Whoo hoo!

So, while I can't run, I think I'll alternate cycling with ice skating, and some swimming. Ice skating will get to be a better aerobic work out when I can go a little faster! I'm considering looking at in-line skates/roller blades...

Exercise today:
Ice skate 30 minutes
Weights (arms)
50 crunches
25 low abs
25 each obliques
