Interesting - normally the rink is pretty crowded in the mornings, but I guess the holiday season is having it's impact - today it was just me and two little girls with their matching pink skating bags with wheels that light up when they spin... How terminally cute... Makes me think of "Hello Kitty" horking up a hairball.
Haven't been able to get to the rink since my lesson on Friday, damnit. Work is kicking my butt right now, and my SAD is hitting me harder and earlier than normal this year so I'm really struggling with energy issues. Did get in today, though - worked on the swing rolls most of the time, after my normal warmup. I've got to get the rhythm of those suckers into my body - dancer-brain gets it, but skater-body is pretty clueless. For some reason, I'm really struggling with my right side moves. The left side is fine, the right side is from some OTHER body that doesn't know anything... I finally decided to JUST work on the right side and managed a reasonably spectacular wipeout at one point.
I think it's about my right side not being as strong physically for some reason. I had that problem as a dancer, as I recall. I'm going to have to really concentrate on it for a while to get it up to par.
Not a bad workout - was tired of course, but worked through it.
Who's idea was it to move to friggin' SEATTLE where the sun comes up at 10am and goes down at 4pm having not really accomplished much ALL WINTER! What was I thinking? :)
