I finally got back into blading. I bought a pair of skates back in Nov 09, and I've been blading since. I use them to walk/run my dog. In the winter she loved it. Now that it's hot, she still does, but goes much slower and can't manage for as long (gets too hot). I usually take here for somewhere from 1-2 miles and then do a few more on my own. I usually run about 4-6 miles which is probably 20-30 minutes. I love it. I used to run track and cross country in HS. I enjoyed it, but not thoroughly. Blading gets me the exercise, but it's much more enjoyable.

This is the longest I've managed some sort of fitness activity non-stop in many, MANY years. I usually only manage 1-3 months.

I've got a pair of Rollerblade Speed 90s. Hard 90mm wheels. I wish the frames were adjustable, but these are comfy and fast. I probably top out at about 20mph, but average 12-15 mph.
