You're in the western NY area right? I think we might have skated in the same group at Genesee FSC's competition a few years ago. I heart your MIFs LOL Sara |

As much as I'm online, I don't have the discipline to keep one up. I have an "old-fashioned" spiral-bound journal. The cool thing-I keep it with me always so it's ready for autographs!! I had it with me at a workshop so Don Jackson signed it. You can't do that with an on-line journal. I don't expect it would be interesting to anyone else anyway. And my drawings are better on paper than on the computer... But I don't mind reading other people's journals, they are cool and insightful!
Maybe one day when I'm famous my journal will be scanned and put online....ha ha ha.

This is awesome. I am always telling my coach about "the skaters inside my computer" but I did not know there were quite so many!

Hey Jocelyn!

My skating is going ok. I've been sidelined with "jumper's knee" since late last spring (I did way way WAY too many axels all at once, and a piece of the patellar tendon degenerated - an overuse injury). I finally had surgery done to fix it in March - it'll be 6-12 mo post surgery til we really know if it worked. All last year I did a lot of patch, I started dance and made it through to the pre-silver level, and did some MIF and limited right-leg intensive freestyle. I'm back on ice in a really limited fashion at the moment (like, some patch and maybe 20 minutes of MIF, footwork and a few spins), but am hoping that I can start doing more this fall. I want to move up to Gold if all goes well and fingers crossed that I won't have to sit out another year of competing - I really really want to go to Easterns and Dallas. I'm about to schedule a buffalo trip for blade sharpening - I'll PM you when I do and maybe the stars will align and we could hit the rink together for a session. --Sara |

I began one today. I hope to record each practice and keep track of my goals and progress. I think it'll definitely help motivate me when I need that kick-start!

I am an adult skater and started my journal in June 1999. To the best of my knowledge it is the original adult ice skating journal.
If you would like your journal linked on my site please send me an email at kay@skatejournal.com Include: the title of your site URL brief description (1 line or less) if you are an adult or younger skater It takes me a while to get to linking, but I eventually do it. Kay |

I don't keep a written journal, but I maintain a web page with photo and video accomplishments that show progression (I hope!) over the years. The most recent are listed at the top of the chart, and the earliest are at the bottom.
Below that chart is another photo/video gallery of friends/coaches/misc. http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~schneidw/..._pictures.html

I don't have the discipline. But, I added Johnny Weir as my myspace friend, though I never do anything with myspace (I am way above the demographic and just want to see my sister's pictures).
By the way, Johnny Weir has some amazing videos on his page, including a throw triple axel he did with Rudy Galindo: http://www.myspace.com/officialjohnnyweirmyspace (he said on his official site last year that he doesn't have a myspace, but this seems pretty authentic so maybe now he does)

I have one, but it's a friends-only journal since I have stuff other than skating in it. However, it's mostly skating, so if you have an LJ account and want to read, I can friend you Just remind me that you're from skatingforums!

I have a blog too.
rookieskate.blogspot.com I'm newly diagnosed with AOSS, and have only been in group lessons for a few months, so this blog might really interest the newbies out there. |

It looks like you are working on backward edges but haven't done 3-turns? I'm at an ISI rink, and those backward edges are in the highest level before passing into freestyle. I'm impressed! I have a blog that's supposed to be about weight loss, but has been sort of taken over by skating. That's what happens, I guess! http://susanlosin.blogspot.com |

Me too! Mine's just coming up to a year old - and was started the day after I took up skating again!
I update it after every session - which is surprising, as I was hopeless at keeping a diary as a schoolgirl! My online journal
