Yesterday, in my pursuit to maintain some kind of level of fitness, i went for a 5km jog with a friend through a very beautiful part of Magdeburg called Rotehornpark. After about 3km, the scenery starting to get a bit hazy and it became clear that cycling fitness (which i am suppose to have some of) and jogging fitness are not directly related - or at least the muscle groups aren't! This became very apparent at the end of the jog when i discovered muscles i thought were suppose to be trained. My legs (still confused as to why they are not going in circles like they usually do for cycling) felt like jelly and i headed for the first chair i could find after the jog.

Tonight in Magdeburg they will have a "Blade Night" which is the Roller Blade equivalent of The Argus Cycle Tour - lots of people (they expecting over 10 000!) rollerblading in streets closed off especially for this event. Hope my legs will last and that i find a pair of skates that fit my feet size! Will try and send pictures - if i am able to stand upright for long enough...
