Perseverance

I skated Chandler coffee club as usual for patch practice.  FO edges were being stinky :-(.  Cheryl gave me some helpful feedback though -- she was watching my waltz-8 and mentioned that when I turn my head to look (before the step forward) I'm turning my whole upper body and it's throwing my balance off.  I think I knew this subconsciously but I never thought of it that way.  Anyway I tried to just turn my head and it really helped!  I'm still stepping to a flat or FI for the most part but it does help the step forward to be a bit smoother and less scary.  Cool!
