Back to basics

I put a lot of Chocolate Thunder's teaching into action tonight. I just kept thinking about the fundamentals of my strides and it really helped.

I did what he recommended-- do as many laps as I can in proper, low form, and then used some lower energry strides to keep going. He checked in with me during practice which was really rad. I really focused on doing what I could do well tonight, instead of worrying about not keeping up.

I just love love love going to practice. I see improvement every time I skate, and that's all I can hope for now. Well, I can hope to be really good, so I guess that's all I can expect for now.
