Perseverance


I went to the afternoon public session at Valley today. Usually I would have gone to the morning session but I'm on vacation more or less (don't go back to work until Wed.) so I allowed myself to sleep late. I got about 1 hr 45 minutes of skating in.

I worked mostly on 3s and FXOs. I worked a lot on trying to skate in the crossed-over position and made some real progress on my good side (CCW), and some progress on CW as well. Doing FXOs in a very deliberate and collected fashion is good for my edges, I think, not to mention making one feel like a Real Skater.

On the 3s, not much progress. I mostly worked the RFO and RFI3 since the LFO3 doesn't really need work and I'm still chickening out from really working the LFI3.
