My last 2-3 practices were pretty rough. My senior kitty (she'll be 18 this year) has been sick the last few months and most recently she's really not been feeling well. I feel like we are faced with making some difficult decisions soon. Needless to say, I've been very distracted during my practices and my program music, "Fix You," is pretty triggering right now. I'm kind of a mess.
Spinz - My spins have been really good lately! I had a few really nice camels into scratch spins that made me feel like I'm finally getting a handle on things. It's the first time where I haven't felt like the worst spinner. Yay.
Jumpz - I have been working on everything but I've been spending a lot of time on salchow-loop and loop-loop combos. I've been getting better at keeping the free leg up and crossed in front during the combo so it's nice to see some improvement there.
Dancez - During our lesson yesterday, we ran all three Preliminary Dances with the music. Everything still looks good. I did, however, botch our first run through of the Canasta. We just got done with the end pattern and started down the rink again when my thoughts went to my kitty and I forgot the steps. Ugh. We ran it again and it was fine but now I know I can't auto-pilot these dances.
24 Program Challangez (5/24) - I did two run throughs today and they were okay. My camels were pretty good but I need to clean up my choreographic step sequence a bit. Overall, it's a strong program but there are definitely areas where I can improve things.
