Basics

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler 2 p.m. FS (schedule change due to adult dance camp).  I warmed up with edges and scribed circles.

Today's lesson:

• pushing -- we worked on this some more, both forward and backward.  I really need to stand up straight!  Danette videoed me so I could see what it looks like.  Ugh.  I tend to really crouch forward for the first several feet before I can stand up straight.  I know it my head what it should look like, but that's not what's happening.  Ugh.  
• FO8 -- these have really deteriorated.  I think it's a combination of lack of practice in patch and that I'm really out of shape right now.  Darn covid.  I was hoping to get back in the gym but not with cases being so high and no mask requirements AFAIK in the gym.  Ugh.
• BO8 -- just a couple of minutes on these.  Meh.  Push is weak.

I'm really not happy with where I am in my skating right now.  I knew this was going to happen when school started, but still -- not happy at all.
