A blog about skating...from the view of an adult skater. Sometimes I'll write about my own skating journey or about my adventures on my Synchronized Skating team. Other times, I'll write about my own observations as the Ice Monitor at the Ice Rink where I skate. And still other times, I'll write about skating in general, Team USA, the Olympics, or other skating. For now, the names of the coaches and students at the Rink are pseudonymns, but if you know my rink, you'll quickly recognize who is who.

Skate woes fixed!

So, my new skates were still giving me issues but the "Skate guy" here at the rink finally fixed them for me today. He "punched" out the toe area of my right skate and adjusted the blade so I can get over on an outside edge. This should greatly help me get my spins back under control and help me from falling over on that inside edge on my right foot.

My lesson was pretty much a disaster. They all have been lately. I hope that once I get my skates all settled and my feet stop aching that everything will go more smoothly. I don't know if it will happen or not, but I'm really hoping., I'm starting to get to that "very frustrated with my skating" point and I don't want to be there.

Sam and Erin both test today. I hope they do well. Kensie also tests today...she's testing her senior moves again. I really hope she passes!
