What a workout....

So today, after paying my $2.50 entrance fee, I went out for a public skate in the morning. Now usually I go with my daughter, my workout partner, but she had school today and plus, I wanted to try out some 'weighted skating' today.
I put 5lbs weights around each foot and then I skated around speedskating style, even though I had my comfortable Grafs on........man what a workout!!
I skated and stayed in speedskating crouch for over 6 minutes which equivalates to the 5,000m race and holy smackeroos, the legs were getting giggly, the skates were starting to wobble, the burn in my thighs almost lit my long johns on fire, but I did it and it felt good!!
I might even play my whole hockey season with these on. Anyways, I bought the weights for when my speed skates come in so I can train in that fashion....always train harder!!
By the way, I found out yesterday that the Greek federation will be updating my Bobsled license in case they need a spare.....how 'bout that!! Last year at this time, I was coming back from my track recce in Europe....time really does fly!!
Stay tuned.....
