Well today was an active rest day for me. I usually will take the bike out for a few miles on these days but today I decided to put the inline skates to work. I have not put them on in 5 years and they got so little use back then they are still like new. So I got off to a wobbly start but soon got back in the grove. I wound up doing 7.82 miles with an average speed 9.5 mph. I have to say though that inline skating uses a totaly different group of muscles than running and biking. I am sore in places I didn't even know I could be sore in. So I guess it is a good thing to do on my non running days to engage the support muscles.

Just wanted to share and see if anyone else finds inline skating a good cross training workout as well. I will be using it more often thats for sure.
