Smooth Curls:

• I'm back on the ice again after another two weeks. I had no pain going into the rink and do my LFO3's like it was never injured. (Which means it's not great, but at least I could do them.)
• I did not lose much of the Bronze Moves, except for the LFO3's towards the end of the session. If I get this part of the moves... I'll be ready to test Bronze moves!!!

Rat's Tail:

• I should have quit after an hour of skating. (I stayed for another 15 minutes instead.) I started getting that "tweak" around the ankle/calf area. My legs were getting tired and I felt it was time to call it a day (before I do further damage.)
• My skating buddy who was skating with pulled his left hip/butt muscles this afternoon. He said that he was just gonna skate around for a while to let it heal. THEN he tried to do a waltz jump and you could see the cringe when he lands on the jump. He was off the ice in less than 30 minutes. Poor man...

Thank you for the support, you guys!!!

I got a critique of my Bronze MIF today... focusing on 5-step and the "alternating Back crossovers to back outside edges" MIFs (since my coach and I figured those were my weakest).

The biggest thing I was told I needed to work on was to be quicker on both (which also means quicker on the other 3 MIFs as well). Coach and I had worked on speeding up the cadence on the first 2 drills on the test (alternating forward crossovers and alternating back crossovers) but now I need to speed up the rest. It WAS easier doing the 5-step faster... I just have to get my brain used to thinking faster, since I've drilled it slower for so long.
