"The road to Awesome passes through the little hamlet of Naff. I am taking the scenic route which also passes through Laughable and Pitiful. But seriously, practice makes perfect"Well I really need to buy a sat nav because I started my journey in 2008 and for some reason keep getting lost and heading towards home
given that Im very close on 50 I'm not all that sure I have enough time to get to anywhere close to Awsome
I would happily settle for the little town of comfotable!
That being said, whilst skating yesterday there was an elderly gentleman skating and all I could think was a mixture of , god I think you are amazing to be on the Ice and also I reeeally hope he doesn,t fall and hurt himself whilst I,m here cos Ill go home mortified!
Anyway, I went skating yesterday and although was very nervous for the whole time there, felt like I was pushing through It a litttle. I managed some (very stiff and dodgy) continuous edges and cross rolls. I was too scared to attempt crossovers but am going today again so will push myself to do some today. I also did a little backward stroking but got panicky after about 4 strokes. But it is a start and I felt pleased with what little I had done. And DOI peeps were there so that was a good excuse to be standing at the barrier
Today I shall concentrate on forward stroking / backward sroking and tying some crossovers (with possibly some crossrolls because I used to love trying to extend/ improve them so want them back)
