Edges

 I skated the Chandler adult skate for my patch lesson with Danette.  Nice ice, about 7 skaters.  While it was not that crowded, one skater was filming a virtual test and another was running her program so it was not the best environment for patch.  I also was running late and didn't get to warmup.

I'd been off the ice for two weeks for a variety of reasons, it was good to be back.

Today's lesson:

• forward edges & posture -- we spent this lesson just working on forward edges and improving my posture.  Danette had me do an exercise for edges where I push off, then skate briefly on two feet and then pick up my foot.  I tend to stand up straight on two feet so the point was to get me to skate the remainder of the edge with proper posture.  It will make a good warmup!
