Timely post for me. A group from our church went skating during the summer. I've been begging my 11 year old to go back since, but she really has no interest. Last week I got an e-mail from the local rink that they were open during the day for fall break. Since my daughter's fall break is next week I went by myself while she was in school.

The place was fairly deserted with 12-18 max on the floor at any time. At least half an hour of the 2.5 hours I was there, I had the entire rink to myself. There are definitely some unique muscles in play for skating. It took a couple of days to recover, but I'm looking forward to going back. I asked the manager if they've ever had daytime sessions tartgeted at adults. He said they'd tried it repeatedly, but never had enough turnout for it to work. I'd probably go weekly if they were open during the day. Sure beats the treadmill when it's too hot to run outside here in AZ.
