Best. Practice. Ever.

There is so much I want to write about but I know that there's no way for me to make it into something coherent at this moment. If I had tried yesterday, it would have been even worse.

Highlights so far of this fall session of Debs:

• Skating 26 laps in 5 minutes without falling once! (A first on both counts, though the not falling is a bigger deal for me.)
• Knowing that I'm going to be in the intermediate group and that I've got a lot of fundamentals down.
• Our 3 hour testing session was the smoothest one yet (with all of us; when there was a small group of us testing, that went really well).
• I still hurt.
• I've ended up as a moderator for our "secret" group which means I'm making things like practices into events so that I don't forget about them. Turns out that this is useful for other skaters as well.
• I've been really social so far this year. I'm chatting with more new skaters and connecting with the older skaters more than before.
• Even after a hot soak in an Epsom salt bath, I still hurt.

Eventually, I'll write more down. This is a mental place holder so  I don't forget. It was an amazing practice. I hope the rest of the session is just as awesome.
