Monday was Memorial Day and the skating session was crowded, I expected it but I went anyway. I didn't stay long and I didn't do much, but I figured it would help both the balance and the muscle conditioning to not have a break from Friday till Tuesday.
Tuesday I worked hard at TenFox, maybe too hard. I definitely feel motivated when I know I have a lesson. I worked on what the coaches suggested on the last lesson, the dropped 3s and Mohawk and skating everything quicker with mixed results. At the end of the session I felt very tired, but... I did a lot and I stayed longer, so putting it in perspective, there is an improvement in the muscle conditioning. Driving home I felt a bit unhappy that I haven't worked on other things. I think I'll have to be careful to balance my skating, keep the motivation up by having goals like testing the TenFox but allow time to also work the other skills, and new things for enjoyment. I think I'm mostly afraid that I may burn out.
Wednesday it was a rainy and drab day. In the past I wouldn't have gone out of the house, but knowing I have a lesson on Thursday, I did go. After a short warm up, I started immediately with the TenFox. After 2 patterns I decided to work on some skating skills. After one exercise I went back to the TenFox, and so forth. I think this may work!
Thursday I had my second dance lesson with the new coach. There was definite improvement on the TenFox, I'm gonna add the corrections to the previous post. And we squeezed in few other exercises because I needed to rest a bit in between the TenFox patterns.
Friday I was tired but I was excited to try some corrections I've got in the lesson, so, this week I skated 5 times!
