Patch Perseverance

I skated the Chandler coffee club for patch practice today.  I finally took my skates in to be sharpened yesterday, and I felt a lot more secure on them.  Yay!

I warmed  up with edges, then spent my time on FO8 and waltz-8, followed by focusing just on working the step forward.  Ugh.  In isolation I was able to get my weight further back on the blade so that I actually turned my skating foot before the step forward; however in the context of the waltz-8 my weight is further forward and I can't do that.  Urgh.  I'm a little frustrated.  FO8 was somewhat better though.
