What was I thinking?!!!!
What was I thinking?!!! I've been off the ice for a week, in Florida for 4 days splashing in a pool - woke up this morning feeling like I was dragged behind a truck. I have an ankle injury since before I went away (some kind of impingement thing) seems to have gotten worse while away. . But...do I stay home? Nooooooo, of course not. I put my kid on the bus and head off to the rink! By the way, it is about 15 degrees here too. The rink I skate at is about the same temp. Nice.
Anyway, normally after being away from the ice ,after my off ice warm up I do a lot of stroking exercises on ice and maybe program run throughs with out jumps. Then I'll start to warm up the jumps and maybe do a run through with the jumps. Do I do that today? Noooooo! I decide to do a warm up like a competition.! ( since I'm going to Easterns in - what is it 4 weeks?) BTW I don't even warm up the jumps on ice. I didn't even warm them up off the ice because I was too busy gabbing to someone.! So, being the overachiever(or shall I say Unrealistic one) that I am I decide to do my free program... and see what happens! I don't know what I expected, but it was the worst run through I ever did. I was actually really bummed out that it wasn't good! What was I thinking. Now that I'm at home and venting to all of you I feel better! And, another BTW... my ankle was killing me soooo bad I had to get off early. Perfect. I'm sure some of you have done the same nonsense that I did today. Please share. |

Don't feel too bad-we all do stupid stuff when it comes to skating. When I take my daughter to the rink with me, I'm so busy helping her with her skates & stuff I forget to warm up before I get on the ice. This results in my being extra-sore when I'm done.

I can see that happening. I totally forget myself when I'm with my kid.

It's not kids so much, it's husbands! I am totally sore after my lesson today. We were working on rockers, and at the end I had to say "Please no more, my back is killing me!" Whereupon Husband, who wasn't listening, goes, "Shall we do that again?" Er - what part of "no more!" didn't he understand?
And then later we were working on a new lift, and I'm now black and blue from being grabbed in awkward places..... and still really stiff! I still had my solo lesson to go after all that, and did the coach go easy on me? You guess!

ROTFLMAO! I have the same thing with my mom. I spend so much time making sure she does her crossovers in the uncomfortable for her direction, I forget to warm up, LOL!

It certainly was, is, and will be for us - and got us over the awful "empty nest" thing when our daughter left home. We still needed to give ourselves permission to have fun without her, though....
