taking new skates out for a spin!
and yes, that is ‘labour’ by paris paloma playing from my phone during my 6am practice because i was the only one on the ice.

it was a perfect way to start the day.

teaching the film ‘gaslight’ (1944) this week… “captive sweetheart” is such a disturbing way to market a film about emotional and psychological abuse. in a way quite fitting to the very idea of “gaslighting”

the only double toe i will post from today’s practice.

controversial opinion: i really like toe loops.

should i be skating in these boots? probably not. will i continue to do so until i get my new skates? yes because its an addiction. next question.

notes from day 1 of teaching 1/2 sections! students did a wonderful job identifying all the different layers to the story!

update: i did order these risport beauties YESTERDAY after i went in thinking i would just get my usual custom jackson’s in the correct size (don’t ask). taking a leap by trying a new brand and have to break these in on my own (they’re so stiff), but excited to see how this goes!

there are a lot of reasons why skating has been hard lately… lingering hip pain from surgery recovery…boot problems… longer than desired breaks because of less access to skate time after moving for a new job…and sort of coaching myself…

but any day i can get on the ice is a good day. best feeling.
