First Lesson

Well, after I 4 month break, I'm getting back on the ice. I have to. I had my first lesson today with a new coach. Right now we're just working on Moves which means I still need to try to get in a freeskate lesson with my sister.
This morning we worked on those preliminary moves that I failed. She explained what was wrong with my patterns on the backwards crossovers to outside edges. Hopefully I can fix that. They definitely felt better once I realized what I was supposed to be doing. Then we worked on my alternating threes. She's having me change the way I check out of my three turn. Finally we worked on power-3's. Fixed the pattern a little bit there. Overall she said my biggest problem is my stiff knees (obviously) and my upper-body.

Glad to hear you are back on the ice! (Even though my comment is a month late...) Have you skated since this entry? How is it going for you?
