Fresh Start/Same Ol' Off-Ice July 14 - 20, 2008
Since I've just started Summer Skating School, let's use Fresh Start for the good stuff and Same Ol' for the bad.
Fresh Start: Rode my bike 4 Miles to skating from home and then after skating rode home.

Did a decent amount of stretching today. I'm definitely getting more flexible! Also did good rotations off-ice

Cool! I'm all over the flexibility stuff! What stretches are you doing and what are your goals?

At home I do calves, then hamstrings a few different ways--the "V" on the floor, touching my toes. Then I do thighs in the normal way, and hip flexors with one knee on the floor--im sure you know the stretch I mean. Last I see how close I am to my splits and do different spiral positions. Eventually, I want to get all of my splits, a nice Biellmann position and a nice heel stretch. It'll take a while, but I'm trying my best to be patient.

Same Ol'...
Well, you'll love this... last Sunday I have a AN Viewing potluck party hosted at my figure skating personal trainer's home where we all sat and watch each others' video and pig out on all sorts of stuff: sushi, chicken in sorta a satay sauce (since it's not made with peanuts -- the person who made the chicken is allergic to peanuts...) apple pie, salads, lasagna, and BROWNIES (which the hostess made with her son... YUM YUM!!! ) Needless to say, this is the session to work ALL THAT FOOD OFF!!! (Very strange irony, huh? ) We -- well, mostly me -- worked on a lot of abs in this session! Lots of work particularly with the obliques!!! Gotta get that tummy DOWN!!! Fresh Start: Well, I survived... and my abs wasn't sore at my lesson this morning either... And according to her, I'm become more flexible doing certain stretches too!!!

Fresh Start
-Dragged myself to the gym even though I really didn't feel like going -Did about 30 minutes on the elliptical working pretty darn hard. Same Ol' -The back weight room is closed, so I couldn't do good stretches or any weights -Haven't done much stretching today at all. My muscles are very tight and sore from hard skating. I know that's a good time to stretch them, but I haven't gotten around it it Maybe tonight.

This is for Thursday. It's a little late, but you know the saying.
Fresh Start: Practiced two hours on my PICs at the roller rink but because it was above 90 degrees inside, I took it fairly easy. Worked on threes and brackets a bit more than usual, but did manage to kick up my heels a few times during the skate. I had to pass on the brownies and cookies brought by another adult skater. I was just too hot to consider food. I was drenched in sweat by the end. Same Ol' There's only one more session at the roller rink before they close for the rest of the summer. The ballroom dance class was canceled this week, but no one called to tell us! Fresh Start #2 There were several other dancers who also did not received word of the cancellation. Together we decided to book a room at the community center for some 'unsupervised' practice on a few additional evenings. Thank goodness that the additional dance practice isn't scheduled after a sweaty workout in the hot roller rink.

You might want to invest in some Arnica gel (mine is the Boiron brand) because it loosens tight mucles and takes swelling down. One of my former coaches told me about it and it really works. Bike riding seems to help with tight muscles too and it warms them to make stretching easier to do.

Same Ol':
The air quality for both Thursday and Friday was so bad that their was an Air Advisory issued. Since I have asthma that meant that I could ride my bike. Also, I plain didn't have time to ride my bike on Friday because I had to get back home quicker then when I ride my bike so I drove my car to the rink and back. Not riding my bike didn't allow me the time to get my body warm to properly stretch on Friday, so I had very tight muscles and my Arnica was at home. Must buy a second tube to stay with my skates. Fresh Start: After getting home on Friday, I took a hot shower to clean up and to loosen my tight muscles. Then I had a ride in my husband's black Corvette to London and when shopping (lots of walking) at White Oaks Mall for 4 hours. Also managed to find the store that had those chair body massagers and sat for a massage. Ah!!!!!!!!!. Felt great afterwards.

I bench-pressed 95 pounds this morning in my workout.
New personal best. I also did 75 pounds back-squat. Not sure if that's a new PB, but not far off. This time last year I couldn't even imagine doing back squats again, because I had so much knee pain.
