On The Edge... Again

The last time I skated regularly, you needed 2 pair of skates, a scribe and skated patch. Triple jumps were almost unheard of, so were Bielman spins. Twizzles were only done by ice dancers and Ronald Regan was just elected into office.


Fast Forward 32 years. Starting January 2, 2012, I am back on the ice doing something else that was unheard of .... Adult Figure Skating. We had "coffee club", which was like adult swim, but there was no opportunity for testing or competition.


Update 2021. It has now been 9 years since I began adult skating. I have not competed since 2016 , but my blog is still going. My YouTube channel has over 1.76k subscribers. That’s just crazy!

Monday Practice ... Ugh

Mondays are not my favorite day to skate. I know it would help if I did a better warm up, but today my fleece skating pants were still in the wash and I boldly and stupidly skated in a skirt. I was cold the entire time. I'm sure my muscles warmed up some, but I never felt loose.

Nevertheless I did practice instead of staying home. Today I ran though my Bronze MIF and then some freestyle:

(Ignore my typo ...  this was 2012, not 2013)
