This morning, I woke up bright and early to workout downstairs, and instead went to the rink to take in an early morning freestyle session. Yesterday I had a lesson and we started working on my program. I felt more alive then ever. Skating to music, being expressive, dancing on ice...it was heaven. I have been "hyper" ever since yesterday morning--so excited about my music and costume and...well, skating has been on my mind. So to get to skate this morning, well, it was just fantastic.
I showed up at the rink at 6:25am and found I was the ONLY one there! It was so empty that the gate to the rink hadn't even been opened yet. I made the first marks on the freshly cleaned ice. HEAVEN!
I soared as I glided, stroke, spun and jumped around the ice. I landed all my jumps, and landed them well. I got out of breathe from skating too hard and fast. My nose ran, my heart skipped a beat. I had total control of the CD player, and practiced the first bit of my program a few times. I did tricks, and spins. I did my first combination jump in years--salchow-toe loop.
I did my special "trick" move--hydroblading (picture above). Felt great (although the front desk guy really had no clue how to take a good picture--DUH! I video taped myself doing a jump--sorry for the long nothing at the begining--had to push record and then go skate! LOL--and then the jump isn't even all that great, but oh well...I had a blast, and I'm doing it!!
