Off Day

Today was an off day in two senses -- first, I had the day off from work (Martin Luther King Day), and second, I was just feeling "off" when skating this evening at the 6:10 freestyle session. I was supposed to have a lesson at 5 p.m. but Anna had a problem getting back to town from her weekend trip so we had to postpone.

The session had about 8 or 10 people, with 3 people taking lessons, so -- busy but not badly so. Despite my funk (had a splitting headache as well as still getting over this rotten cold) I had an okay practice. I worked on pretty much everything except jumps. No great progress on anything but it's coming along.

The rink has published a list of freestyle rules and asked all the skaters (and their coaches!) to sign them. The rules are pretty common sense stuff, nothing new or exciting.
