Do ALL the things!

 It was a nice morning on the ice for me today at Apex. It was just me and Coach Michelle working with a brand new adult skater. It's always exciting to see new adult skaters! So yeah, I had a lot of room to work on things since they were mostly just working on stroking and stops in secluded areas. 

Moves - Forward and Backward Double 3 Turns are coming along. Some sides are better than other sides but I'm getting through it. Backward Circle 8 is still a struggle but I feel like it gets .5% better each time I do it so that this time next year maybe it will actually be sorta nice. I didn't work on the other moves but I need to start working on the Power Circles again since I only really did them twice (once on my own and once in my lesson). I did a few FI brackets but none of the others. 

Dances - I ran all three of my Pre-Bronze dances with the music once and then I worked on trouble spots for all three for quite a bit. These are coming along. 

Jumps & Spins - With spins, I worked on everything (including the backspin and a really bad attempt at a back sit). Jumps are okay but my flip and lutz are just really awful. They always are. 

Program - I ran it and it was okay except that I biffed the lutz-toe combo which led to a wonky camel spin coming out of that. The deadline to register for the Fort Collins Fright Fest is Sunday and this program isn't in the best shape. I'm still going to register but man, I'm not feeling great about things.
