Pluggin' Away

My figures lesson with Lynne for this week.  I have been ill so I postponed until today.  Still a bit sniffly, but as I've often found, even when I feel like crap I can often skate reasonably well..

Today's lesson:

• FO edges -- these are actually improving.  Still need to work on posture and finding a good edge immediately.
• F8s -- FO8s were not bad.  I managed to make my circle size a bit more reasonable than it has sometimes been :-), which made it a lot more reasonable to get all the way around.  FI8s not bad either.
• BO edges -- LBO is still an issue.  We worked on them for quite a while.  I actually managed once (ONCE, lol) to actually get all the way over my skate the way I do on the RBO.  Wow, it was great.  Then I went up on my toe and fell, lol.  Still, I know what it feels like.
• FO3s -- These are doing okay.  I am a lot more confident on them than I used to be.  Still need more work but not too bad.

After my lesson I just stayed for a few minutes, and worked on waltz-8 a bit.
