Sweat and Smiles

Hello all, it's me Mel again.  This morning I missed out on the Delaware Sunshine, and skipped my run to get my eye appt.  My eyes went from -2.00 to -2.25. I gotta start eating more carrots or something!

Anyway my 2 hours of skating went well, and I was a little bit better than yesterday.  Today my FS program I hit (9/11) elements. Nine better than yesterday considering the fact that I did not do a long program yesterday. (whoops)
And today's short....wait for it....(6/7) elements! After the run-through 2 laps, 3 double Axels, followed by Straight line step sequence and another double axel. HELLO LACTIC ACID!
My consistency of my triple lutz is kinda lack luster at the moment (10/15) Hey, at least I'm passing. 

Remember how I said I wasn't that tired and wasn't that sore yesterday? Not so much today.  I'm gonna be sore everywhere tomorrow.  I'M FEELIN IT! Here was today's workout

On a good note. Today aside from the training and eye appointments.  I decided to give one of my best friends, Michelle, a "just because you're awesome" gift and guess what?! Today I went home for my break and found a "just because you're awesome" gift from Nick! Yay! He got me soakers! Haha, they were long overdue. Anyway you know what they say, "what comes around goes around!" and my friend Grace's quote "Karma is only a b*tch, if you are"
Finished the day off with my kiddies at Learn to Skate.  Let me tell you I'm making superstars. I have so much fun with them.  Every time I work with them they remind me why I start skating.  What a perfect way to end the day.  Oh and I got a phone call back from Guess! :) The Second interview is tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Lots of Love,
Mel
