Back in the swing of things

Hey, Everyone!!

Excited that finally I am getting back to the swing of things and focusing now on getting my skating in order.  It's been awhile since I skated and now I am looking forward to great skating.

I had a practice session with my coach and a test run of my free skate test and got a chance to try my dress that I will be wearing for my test.  It's a design that I created that goes perfect with my music from the movie "Scent of A Woman" Por Una Caveza.  It's a lovely piece of music and I have to say when coach put the music on I got chills - love love my program and my dress :>.

I was so nervous before getting on the ice, but after a few stroking around and got the ice under me, it was great all the way.  There was a few mishaps because other skaters were in my way but I manage to skate well but best of all, I did not have any malfunctions, yeah!!

Coach has tweaked my footwork and told me to work on my spins and exit on my loop jump.  All in good time, I will work hard and diligently til my next test in November.

I will say this; "no matter what the outcome when I test, it's okay, I will take it as a learning experience and not as a failure - no matter what the judges say, I will work on it and make the best of it"  But, I am keeping positive and hoping for the good things.

Happy Skating
