Any rollerbladers out there?

I wanted to try something differant then my usual workout so I found some rollerblades on clearence at the sports store and thought I would give it a shot. My DH is making me where the pads and helmet, not thrilled about that. I am hoping I can build up my ankles so I can give ice skating a shot, something I haven't done in more then 15 years.

I think I will try out the rollerblades this afternoon when I get DD from the bus stop, hopefully I won't fall and brake any bones

I looooove roller blading. I used to do it for hours before DS was born (~4yr ago). I don't get much opportunity to get out anymore. I won't skate on sidewalks and roads, only a paved fitness path that I must drive to so its a bit inconvenient. But its sooooooo much fun and lots of great exercise. Yes do where the protective gear, especially the helmet and wrist guards. Have fun!

O.K., they are going back to the store. My ankles are killing me, and I didn't make it very far down the driveway. I think I will take the money from the return and get a bike instead, way more my speed. And I don't think I will come close to falling as much as I did today
