I'm still skating, just not blogging as often.  But still enjoying skating more than ever!  I'm still going once a week in the early morning before work, with my private coach Tabitha.  Also going once or sometimes twice a week on my own to practice. 

Interestingly, I still dream about skating now and then.  Just this past week I dreamt that I was doing counter-clockwise forward crossovers, which I can do in real life too, but in my dream I was doing them very fast and building up a lot of speed.  I did 4 or 5 in quick succession, leaning further into the circle than I do in real life, and using more force to push off the edge than I do in real life.  In my dream, I was practicing this on my own and building up so much speed I felt like I was flying.  It was awesome!

So then a few nights later, I dreamt that I was telling Tabitha about my dream, and showing her what I had done in my dream, but since in this dream I was doing the move in "real life", I didn't do it as well as I did in my first dream.  Talk about a dream inside of a dream. LOL  It was very cool. 

So today, in real life, I went to practice, and tried to do what I had done in my dream.  I did indeed build up more speed that way, but I know I still wasn't doing it as gracefully as I was in that first dream.  But hey, it's encouraging!  :)
