It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and I wanted to skate flat today and the Santa Ana River Trail was the perfect choice.

I started out from home and headed to Back Bay and went under the Jamboree bridge to the SART. This is a great trail that goes on for many miles and is one of the best places to skate long in Orange County. Today, I did a 60 minute skate out and back to the metal bridge near the hockey rink. The distance was 12.75 miles which of course, is the same as my mph. I started off easy to to work and loosen the adductors and I had no pain on the left side. Today, the right side gave me some problems, so I started off easier and the first 15 minutes were warm-up. No big bursts of speed today as this was completely aerobic and I was giving movement to assist the adductors in healing, While the addie was noticed throughout, it was a good workout and an enjoyable skate.
