It was an absolutely beautiful day, so I had to get out and skate along the lakefront with the girls. I will admit at the first hill, I was a little freaked, but I plough stopped the whole way and that kept my speed down. I have hand breaks on the stroller, but they pretty much slam it to a stop, so I'd rather not have to do that. You tend to pick up a lot of speed on skates and pushing a jogger stroller. I was averaging an 9 1/2 minute mile and that was pushing two kids in a stroller. I could go a lot faster if it's just me and no kids. I did 5 miles on the lakefront...about 2.5 south and then 2.5 back north. It was a lot of fun, and I will definitely get a good workout doing this regularly while pushing the kids along too.
