FI8, BI8

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler adult skate.  7 skaters, beautiful ice.  I scribed circles and warmed up with F edges.

Today's lesson:

• edges --  we went through these since I wasn't happy with them anyway (after a week off). Much better.  FI and BI were really nice.  FO were better than before, and BO were... okay.
• FI8 -- These were the best they've been in a long time.  Posture and push were better, and I alllllmost made it around each circle each time (about 50-50).  Very happy with these.
• BI8 -- still somewhat lacking in control and the push is insufficient.  We worked on trying to get me to consistently turn my head to actually look for the center, with inconsistent results.  Eeep.
