skating

Wow i actually skated 2x last week.   i managed to cram it in and skated about 45 minutes each time.   i still have the chicken blood pumping through my veins when i get on them.  My feet started hurting as well .   i just hollered at the people with kids, dogs, and baby stollers to watch out.    I woudl warn them that i did not know how to stop so to wacth out.   What scared me the most was running in to one of them or something.   I think i only have to skate 20 miles or so each day at the Gigathlon so my focus is just survival again.  Last year was 70 miles of skating in teh 3 day event so it was more skating then planned.  i will get this done when i have time and when the weather is good.  My concern now is mountain biking.   It rained again today so the trails will be closed for another two weeks.
