Last month I skated 2, 3 and even 4 times per week, so not bad. As I've finally settled into my boots, I have convenient access to ice, and I figured out that I can build my muscle and stamina if I skate consistently, I think I'm ready to consider some skating goals.
I still have few challenges, firstly, I'm pretty busy with work, like really busy, I cannot skate as much as I theoretically could. Secondly, my coach is not teaching at the closer rinks I skate at, and with how busy I am, I cannot even think at driving to where he teaches.
I tentatively would like to test the Ten Fox until the end of the year. But for this month, I'm making my goal to figure out how to stay connected with skating when I cannot skate 3 times per week. Like this week, Monday was Labor day and the rinks were closed, and the previous Friday I couldn't skate, so Tuesday skating was cautious and I felt disconnected mentally and emotionally. I haven't got frustrated, as I understood what was happening and why, but it is hard to keep motivated like this.
I couldn't skate Wednesday and I will not be able to skate Friday, that will leave this week with just 2 days of skating so I bet, next week I will feel again disconnected. The third week of September I will be traveling for work so I skate less and also I will disconnect.
So I want to find short activities like watching videos and off ice drills not only as exercises but skating specific exercises to keep me motivated when not skating and to help me connect with skating quicker when I finally get on ice...
