Same Ol' Same Ol'

 My figures lesson with Danette on the 9 a.m. FS at Chandler.  8 skaters.  There was an ice cut right before this session (a bit later than my normal time due to a synchro practice) so great ice.  I warmed up with forward edges and scribed circles.

Today's lesson:

• Edges -- we did FO edges again and B edges.  Not as bad as I expected considering how long it's been since I skated patch, but still a bit rough.
• FO8 -- not making it around the circle, quite.  We worked a bit on the push, and of course on posture as I really need to figure out how to keep my hips forward and settle back on the blade. Eeep.
• FI8 -- as usual, better than FO8 but still a bit rough.  It did improve with practice though.
• BO8 -- just a couple of minutes on these.  Rough.

All in all pretty rough, as I expected, though it could have been worse.  Really looking forward to being done with school (in May) so I can hopefully get back to skating more.
