Monthly skating review: progress and goals adjustment

Reviewing the last month skating, there are few things...

The hip is good, but occasionally I do  something that gives me some discomfort. Like a failed drop 3 turn in Ten fox, that turned into an awkward stop. I also skate just 3 days per week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday mostly because as the school is still out, the rest of the sessions are very, very crowded. But it seems that I feel comfortable having a day off between the skating days both mentally and physically. I don't hold back on anything, extensions, power but I do feel the hip muscles are tired afterwards.

Skating just 3 times a week (plus one half hour private lesson) is half of what I was skating before hurting my hip. I'm not happy but not surprised that the progress is slow. Plus I'm working on all Ice Dancing, MITF and Freestyle so I don't stay on anything long enough to make a difference. Also, these different activities get my muscles tired differently. Ice Dancing tires my quads. I cannot jump well after that... But usually the beginning of the sessions are emptier, so I can do Ice Dancing patterns. After 20 min into the sessions it gets crowded, then Ice Dancing is a no go... I really have to prioritize each day what to work on, but I don't skate enough for that. So how was last month's progress, or let's make it the summer progress? I would say that there is a slight improvement in everything I do, emphasis on slight...

On the first week of September the rink is closed on Monday for Labor Day. Then the ice is rented on Wednesday for kids camp... I'll probably go one day on the crowded package ice and I'll have my regular Friday. Can you read my frustration between the words?

As school starts, we'll go back to the regular schedule. I plan to skate Monday trough Friday but take it easier somehow. I will have to try and see what works. There are few points that I have to consider.
I'll have my lessons on Thursdays. I plan to make it 45 minutes, 15 min MITF or Freestlyle and 30 minutes Ice Dancing. On Tuesdays, the ice was, so I suppose it will still be, quite empty. That will be a good day for Ice Dancing and the big MITF patterns. So I'll have to see how I feel the rest of the days to effectively fit in MITF that I want to test and some jumping. On Mondays, after not skating 2 days in a row, I usually feel stiff. So that would be a good day for warming up everything and taking it easy but who knows... On Wednesday I may be tired after the designated Ice Dancing day on Tuesdays... On Fridays something interesting will happen. I was mentioning that I started Ice Dancing accidentally because an older skater (75 looking like 60) offered to teach me. She cannot do on ice what she could, not even close, so she needs something to motivate and excite her to come skating. And myself, I'm bad at remembering choreography, so I think she can teach me the steps to dances I don't know. So we plan to skate half hour together. The thing that worries me is that she likes to go fast :)

The first test day at my rink is end of October. I would  hope I'll get to have something ready for testing, between Pre-Juvenile MITF, Willow Waltz and Ten fox.
