I'm working on building overall conditioning so today is a gym day. Squats, deadlifts and bench press with some core work mixed in between.

Missed 4 days over a back strain. Got back in yesterday.
Feeling good today, with 77 degrees expected and light winds.

Skated 51.4 miles today on my Powerslide EVO inlines. Weather was perfect at the local Rail-Trail. Did not set out to skate that far, I just never got tired until the last 3 miles. second time in 20 days I broke 50 miles. What is wrong with me?

I made up for the lost days by doing two a days all week! Learned a lot over the week. Here, it's easier to just show you. Pretty proud of this 40 foot soul grind! Angle 1: https://vimeo.com/204245674 Angle 2: https://vimeo.com/204244837

Amazing! Do the kids at the park hate you or worship you?
Strained my left MCL last Wednesday in a sissy little fall. Basically, I hit a small stick during a double-push when my left foot was inboard beyond my center of gravity - the worst possible place to lose traction. So I just literally sat down on the tarmac and slid on my bottom, messing up my shorts but not getting one scratch on my skin anywhere. However...my left leg, the one that hit the stick, just folded under me (like sliding into second base) and strained my knee a tad. Have been babying it, icing it, Advil-ing it, and trying not to do anything stupid, which means NO SKATING. Taking at least a week off, if not two or three. Sucks. So I am counting on you and the rest here to keep me inspired until I heal up. Thanks for the nice start. Love the handstand too.

Well, it's a love hate relationship. They all love to hate me! (skateboarders mostly lol). Damn shame about the knee. Here's what I do for mine when I crash (all the time). Blue emu, alternating Tiger balm, copper infused compression knee sleeve, ice and heat, hot tub etc..... Works for me. Get back on those skates soonest!

Thanks a bunch for the healing recipe! I figured you tweak your knees occasionally.

Oh well. I hardly ever post in this thread but today is good one. I went out on a 26 mile loop day. I don't normally do a long skate and often not any skate on Monday's as it is too soon after Sunday's hard workout on Canada Road. However, I'm going to a trade show tomorrow and starting a new job on Wednesday so this was the last chance. Excellent conditions. Set new records on a couple of sections and the total. This has been my standard mid-week skate work-out since November. I'm going to miss it. 26.14 miles 12.5 mph Avg Speed 2h:05m:04s Final Foothill Loop |

Ironically, since you asked, this was the first week I didn't skate at all in 2017. Vacation with the wife. Bad weather, etc. Knee is 100% and scrapes are all healed up. Seems strange not nursing some injury. Back at it this week if the rain lets up.

Yup, I'm down to around 190. It's all the two a days. I stepped my protein intake back up tho.
Get out there and skate dammit!

3 sessions x10 miles in two days (about 32 total all on inlines). Should hit 50-60 this week. I am off work Fri and Sat so the miles should pile up. Probably spend the day on a longboard tomorrow.

Almost halfway through 2017 and still on track for a 3000 mile skate year (inline skates and longboards).

The usual 39 miles but not so usual temperatures. 90 degrees at the start. Over 100 at the end. I am very heat tolerant. I can push hard well into the 80's but even I have my limits. It was 97 degrees 3/5 of the way through when I started feeling. Had to back off a bit and seek brief shade stops for last couple of laps. Disturbing seeing the heart rate zoom up when the output is meagre.

Thankfully, the skies down here in the steamy Deep South (USA) have been mostly overcast or rainy. I say "thanks" because otherwise we would be hitting high 90s every day. I won't use my inline skates on wet surfaces, but two of my longboards are set up for rain and even deep puddles. Wet surfaces are no problem so I can still get miles.
I don't know what to wish for. End of the unusual rain amounts means extreme heat. I would prefer skating in swim trunks in a drizzle than under even low angle sun this time of year. Watch out for heat exhaustion my friend. It can sneak up on you and if you skate alone, like i do, you better self-rescue early in they symptoms. Cheers!

Getting close to a virtual skate across the USA. Just over 200 miles to go. If I can get to 3000 miles, would be like skating from NYC to San Francisco. Hopeful even though the rain never stops.

I am only able to get out and skate once per week. I average between 15-20 miles with an average speed around 13 mph. The season is drawing to a close for me as here in Michigan. As we hit fall and the leaves fall it makes for treacherous conditions at the park where I skate.
2017 year to date total miles: 333. |
