So basically, today I had a choice: ice skating class or sleep. I chose the ice.
I just finished working an overnight shift, and was faced with a choice: ice skating class, or get an extra hour and a half of sleep. And by extra, I mean not nearly enough. Ever feel like you can never sleep enough? Yeah.
Well, I dithered but my mind was made up already since last night; I’d grabbed my skates on the way out the door to get to work. So, I went ice skating. I learned the backwards wiggle, and the half-fish. So that was fun. My inner thigh/knee/calf muscles are still too weak, but it’s getting there. I learned to better balance my arms/shoulders when on one foot. And got more confident skating backwards. Overall, a productive session.
Now excuse me, I gotta go to bed. Feet are throbbing but my heart is happy :D.

iPhone SE2 took the photo of my skates and a small piece of the helmet - stay safe!
As a skating nation our country has people who 1. Bike all the time and 2. We all skate. So I have to say I love the lady whites. And I watched all
The ice skating this week in the Olympics we won several gold medals
I wish figure skating was more common here! It’s a hockey area, so I actually need to find a good figure skate sharpener. These blades already got messed up a little via sharpenings, but I’m going to be moving to real leather skates soon. I’m learning some good moves, getting there! I did watch most of the Olympic skating clips on YouTube, but definitely not the entire thing. Yuzuru broke my heart. But the new Champ is so awesome, goes to college and still skates at this level.
Speaking of bikes…I have one, somewhere. Lol.
