Toepick!

Not once, but TWICE I tripped on my toepick today and had bad falls. Ugh, Everything hurts.

Eight Step Mohawkz - I did a pattern and didn't like my bad side so I ran it again. When I was returning to center to get ready for the other side...TOEPICK! I hit my elbow pretty hard. It still hurts hours later even with Motrin and a latte from caribou. Sigh.

Forward and Backward Cross Strokez - Forward feels pretty good but I still feel steppy on the backward strokes.

FO-BI 3 Turnz - Okay.

FI-BO 3 Turnz - The good side is getting better but it's still slow. The bad side is still, well...bad.

Spiralz - Skipped.

Power Pullz - I was working on the forward pulls when I had my most awkward toepick fall to date. I tripped over my toepick and since my free leg was out in front, my skating leg went backward, my body fell forward, and my free leg went out in front. I looked like a broken doll. Arms and limbs everywhere. Not a fan. BUT! I got right back up and I tried again (this time without the fall).

Jumpz - Everything got worked on

Spinz - I only spun for a bit and it was only backspins.

I think my clumsy practice was due to the fact that I really did not want to get out of bed this morning. I strongly considered turning my alarm off and sleeping another two hours but I knew I would hate myself later if I didn't go. My mind was ready to skate but my body didn't want to be on that ice at all. I'll have a stronger practice on Friday :)
