It's been so long

The last month has been, well, very disappointing.  I've gotten in a practice here or there, but nothing like I got used to in the spring and summer.  Club ice was supposed to save me during the down time, but between family obligations and judging, I've only gone once since mid-October.

IceHubby is working more hours now, so I made sure I got in some skating lessons.  The first lesson just frustrated me because Coach just basically said, "It'll be fine once you start practicing again." 

Yesterday was the first club ice in ages.  I got to see friends I've missed.  I broke one of my rules about lessons and threw in another lesson, even though there hadn't been a practice in between this one and the last one.

It was worth it.  After 6 or 8 weeks of sluggishness, couch potato after work, and generally just being grumpy, I finally got motivated enough to exercise, stretch, and practice my jumps tonight.  Yes, I got Prospero, the greyhound, to help me.
