Thursday 6 - 6:30 Skate E Spot (30 mins)

We night skated. The lights came on and the air was cool. The mountain side looked pretty while the other direction looked gloomy. It was nice to be out family skating.

We saw Sophie running on the way home.

Thursday 6 - 7:30am Bikram Cambie - Roxana

I had an awesome class this morning. The theory that being tired equals a better class is proven. I was so sleepy this morning that I walked up to yoga with my school bag instead of my matt and my yoga bag. I had to run back down and back up and just made it in time.

I can still hear my neck creak when I turn my head. Old.

Back to work! SO BUSY!!!

Tuesday 6 -7:30am Bikram Cambie - Tierny

There weren't as many people in class this morning. ?Too much turkey? The people that were there kept leaving. (One girl left really early obviously unhappy with the lack of heat) Why can't you just enjoy the not as hot day and use it to work harder in other ways? I love me a not so hot day and then I also appreciate a killer hot day. Whatever - I had a great class and I wasn't too hot in the car on the way to school.

Monday 4 - 5 RnB Hip Hop - Stu

You remind me of a girl that I once knew... Usher song.

This was a fun class. It was a lower level and so it was good to get the choreo and work on dancing it. I like how Stu talked about marking it small and then going big.

This would be a good class for my field trip. The kids would love it.

I'm glad I made it to a class. Finally!!


Monday 10:38 - 11:09 Skate E Spot (31 mins)

I warmed up with ollies and 180's. I was really trying to make my 180's faster. I want them to be comfortable like my ollies. I did my first line and it felt good today. The Sister Shunning of 2014 really gave me all the anger I needed to skate awesome today. I was going to start my second line  - but the boy got out and I kinda lost my zoot. The boy and I had been at the park for a long time before we went skating… up and down the stairs and back and forth along the metal Hydro grate. He didn't really go into the play park much. He is a strong tough guy on the outskirts. He did find a cool little doorway for a hose - that could be a good hiding place.. for a little toy or something. He was pretty impressed with that find.

Sunday 8:59 - 9:44 Skate E Spot (45 mins)

I warmed up with ollies and 180's. Then I did each of my lines ten times. Then I did some extra kick flips - but the boy ran over the line with his truck so we had to pack it in. I had remembered to charge my runpod - first time I have skated with music in a while. It is so much better :-)

We were hoping to get an after nap skate in but it started raining - boo!

Saturday 3:46 - 4:45 Skate E Spot

It was supposed to rain all day and then it turned out beautiful. Yay! Jonny put the idea of no longer keeping this blog because I am so busy... But I don't think I'm ready to get rid of it. I know I won't go back and read everything. But, I like looking back seeing all that I have done. I could just do that in my calendar... But it is nice, when I do have time, to reflect on classes. It is good to look up teachers and dances and even to look over my injuries. Ya - I'll be writing this forever. I may not have a lot of time for writing now, but I may have more time... In the future.

As for my skate today... I did some ollies and 180's and then I did my first line and then I worked on some kick flips. There is a football game today - so there was a lot of foot traffic. The boy made a new friend - and had a good skate. I hope we get a day like this tomorrow :-)
