Back On Track

I've been away for 2 months and skating was not in my agenda. With life, you are not ready for what ever is in-store for you....and for me I had to deal with my health, that I rather not discuss it here.  I do thank my loving family for their support and my skating peeps who was there for me through tough times.  I am very blessed!!!

I decided to skate today and just give it a shot!  As I mentioned in my past posts when I skate - I go with the mind-set of the "no expectations" this way I do not set myself for failure.  

Today's Skate:
So, I decided to skate my silver moves first to get the feel and get warmed up.  Felt a little timid at first but then managed to skate with more confidence.  Built up the courage to skate a run through of my free skate in 3 parts without music and no jumps (trying to play it safe).  I then, however, took the chance to skate my program with jumps.  Have to say that my second run through was way better and my jumps were clean as well my back spin - it felt great (5 revs) I did not skate my sitspin since I just got back from a long break.  

Its time to get back on track!!!

What I take from this?
Its been a tough journey and I am learning to live my life with its imperfections. Its a joy to just skate and feel the ice again. I have a new journey and skating will lessen my pain.

Happy Skating!!
