Feelin' Good

I skated early this morning and had a really great session! My jumps jumped and my spins were hella centered today! 

Moves - I spent a lot of time on the outside part of the Backward Circle 8. I want to make sure that's stable before I add the inside circles. So far, I'm making it around the RBO about 95% of the time and the LBO about 50% so it still has a way to go. Today was one of my better days on this move where I made it around most of the time. Using the Theraband helps so much in keeping me aligned but I still need to work on getting a better push at the start of each circle. I worked a bit on the Forward Double 3 Turns too. 

Spins - Yeah! These were good today! Every spin I did was centered! I even had a really nice sit spin where I was so centered that I was able to push farther down. I didn't take video but it felt like I was at 90 degrees! I'm still struggling with that transition from camel to sit but I worked on it a bit and I know it will improve little by little over time. 

Jumps - Arms up! I worked on all of my jumps with arms overhead. Oddly, the one jump that feels bad with the arms up is the salchow. Weird. 

Program - I ran it without the music but at full speed. Everything did what it was supposed to. I'm maintaining at this point. 

Dances - I ran the Swing once and the other two dances were run twice. Everything feels good. I spent some extra time on the crossfoot hold right before I step forward and restart the pattern on the Fiesta. I feel like I'm more secure on that step now.

So yeah, I got a lot of work done this morning and I'm feeling pretty good about my progress :)
