Toe Loop, Spins, Free Skate

My lesson with JJ on the 8:15 FS at Gilbert as usual.  There's some problem with the ice, there was a strip in the middle that was coned off because they had been working on it.

Today's lesson:

• toe loop -- about 20 minutes on these.   We worked on getting the upper body/shoulders to come around with the R foot.  Argh. Then we worked on getting into it from the waltz jump, and I really get stuck in the check position and can't let go and let it come around.  Some progress, maybe but it's pretty rough.  I'm wondering if I should have some additional lessons just to work on this?  Mmmph.
• spins -- I am so inconsistent on these!  Got some good ones, and others not so good.  I'm not consistent about keeping the free leg back on the entry, and I don't stay with the spin when I really could.  Grr.
• free skate -- ran this just once.  Not too bad, finished slightly late but that was partly because I was maneuvering around the cones in the middle.
