Adventures of an Adult Ice skating Mum! Tools of the trade. Back into it…. The result of this has been the gradual erosion of my motivation. Extra work days and the busy schedule of 4 school aged kids took their toll. My early am Saturday session turned into a tennis lesson with a child. My Thursday coffee club turned into work day, shopping and/or a music lesson (I am a music teacher). It has been harder and harder to make myself make time to skate. A continual struggle with loss of mojo… →. Training lo...

About Me… | Ice Time
https://mumonice.wordpress.com/about
Adventures of an Adult Ice skating Mum! Tools of the trade. I came to skating late in life…. It came to me much earlier in the form of many many nights up late watching the winter Olympics (the only skating shown on tv here in Australia) as a child. Growing up in a country town, there was no ice rink, so I roller skated until I “grew out of it”. The following week I bought skates and signed up for lessons with a coach, determined not to quit after spending so much money! Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You a...

Adventures of an Adult Ice skating Mum! Tools of the trade. Well that explains it…. Turns out I now have the cold/flu thing too. I have decided to take a break altogether till we come back from our trip, then make a new start, hopefully with new ideas and vigor to get my out of my skating rut.

Adventures of an Adult Ice skating Mum! Tools of the trade. A continual struggle with loss of mojo…. It’s been a couple of weeks since I went to the rink to actually skate…. Why? Plus, we have a flu in the house and it is hard to walk away from sick husband and go skate…leaving him to cope with sick kids…. Plus, I have been spending hours at the rink watching DD1 and it is COLD in there at 6am on Sunday mornings. It does not fill me with desire to go back and skate. Back into it….

Adventures of an Adult Ice skating Mum! Tools of the trade. Training log 9th August, 2012 – Don’t laugh! Today’s coffee club session had its highs and its lows. On the plus side, there was a nice sized group there, and everyone is making good progress. Today my Thursday dance partner and I finally managed the swing dance in the correct hold, a great milestone for us! It is hard for a 40 something mum of 4 to get on the ice and try and jump around like a teenager. I may look ridiculous, but I enjoy it!

Adventures of an Adult Ice skating Mum! Tools of the trade. July 21, 2012. Worked this morning on 14 step, foxtrot and European Waltz. I am really pleased with the way the 14 step is going. We used one of my new songs (“Ou est ma tete? 8221;) today and the beat really fit well with the steps. This dance is getting faster and faster now, which makes it so much more fun! If only I could get the Foxtrot going like that…. This entry was posted on July 21, 2012, in Training diary. And tagged training diary.

Adventures of an Adult Ice skating Mum! Tools of the trade. Training log – Jul. 27. This morning I was chuffed when my coach saw me mucking around to someone’s music, doing some jumps. “That’s great, show me again” – of course I couldn’t. I can never produce a decent anything to order. It is very frustrating! This entry was posted on July 27, 2012, in Training diary. July 21, 2012. If only I could get the Foxtrot going like that….
