I don't have to travel these weeks and I can find ice to skate each day Monday through Friday.
Monday I found ice only at my old rink. That session is only for adult figure skaters an that is usually comfortable. Only sometime there are a bunch of professional skaters training for a show. They are great to watch, like a private show, but they are also in the way of my own skating. I skated a little and I watched a little. In the afternoon my muscles were very tired, I've realized that taking those breaks allowed the muscles to cool own and tense up when I've started skating again. So I've learned an important lesson this day!
Tuesday I skated at the close by rink. It was pretty empty and I skated pretty well.
Wednesday I took the weekly lesson farther north. The lesson was great (I will add notes to the post about the recent dance lessons), the driving time was as usually, insane.
Thursday I practiced at the close by rink. The instruction I get in the lessons is starting to settle in!
Friday I woke up tired but not exhausted so I went skating again. This means I skated 5 days in a row! My muscles were tired Saturday and Sunday.
On Monday, my muscles were still hurting a bit but I skated well. I'm trying to push the length of time I'm skating and also the intensity, like more knee bend, more extension. Tuesday I skated because I had a lesson planed for Wednesday but my muscles were very tired and not so quick.
Wednesday I had my lesson but it was not that good since I was still tired and my body was slow. I had some successful adjustments to my alignment and to the waltz 3 turns, I will add them in the post about the dance lessons!
Thursday I took a break from skating... I felt irritated that I had to take the break but I felt good about it in the afternoon...
