Edges, BO8, FO3

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler 1:15 FS.  Nice ice and just 4 skaters. I warmed up with forward edges and scribed circles.

Today's lesson:

• B edges -- not bad.  Still working on posture and also to keep the free foot close (like figures) and not in 'landing position (like MIF).
• BO8 -- not too bad.  Still working on posture etc. and working to have a better initial edge.
• FO3 -- just a little work on these.  Not good (worse than in my FS skates).  

In other news I was told last week that there will be figures at this year's Sherwood Invitational, so I really do need to get my act together.  Danette wants me to work on my flexiblity and core strength.... when? Ugh.
