Started the day with Coffee Club. Sadly only two of us showed up. I hope attendance improves or we will lose this great program. I felt pretty wobbly after being away for another 3 weeks from home ice. I did get to skate a couple of times in Tahoe . But there’s no place like “home ice”. So I brought my scribe and decided to stay quiet and practice some figures during coffee club.
Later that day I returned to the rink for my ice dance lesson with Kendall Tupper LeClaire. We are working on lots of basics. Warm up patterns, edges (dance style) and a little pattern work for the Hickory Hoedown.

I Have Aclimated!
Back for our second week in Tahoe. My 59th birthday was Wednesday Oct 3. Today was the first day we saw clouds and rain .. and hail! But I managed to squeeze in another hour at the South Lake Tahoe Ice Arena for a short skate doing the thing I love most - on my birthday! Happy Birthday to me!
Wish I had skated better. I was more out of breath than I was the first time I was here. I spent most of the hour doing edges, swing rolls, practicing the dance exercises my dance coach gave me and trying to do the Hickory Hoedown alone (ps I am not a solo ice dancer) .... as always I break out into freestyle cause I get bored doing the ice dancing .. (I hope that changes someday).
