More Toe Loop & Program :-)

My lesson with JJ on the 7:30 a.m. FS at Gilbert.

Today's lesson was similar to Monday's -- more work on the toe loop, on the wall and out on the ice.  JJ says I'm getting the timing down and getting closer.  It's hard to be patient, it's very frustrating.  We ran the program (only once) and it was okay.  Didn't do the toe loop but at least I didn't fall this time!  First spin was pretty good, second spin not so much.  JJ says I need to really work on making the footwork around the center circle look more solid and confident.

After my lesson JJ worked with me off-ice for a few minutes on the toe loop.  I need to work more on this off-ice to get the muscle memory dialed-in more.
