7:03a oops
I just realized I never posted about skating group lessons this tuesday and I said I always would.

Here's the run down-
Mazurkas are hard.
Spins didn't work.
7 step (8?) mohawk pattern went well on the CW side, and if I do it on a tiny circle well on the CCW size. I don't know if I have to use the hockey circle to test it. If I do, I can't do the mohawk- my hips don't open that way.

My blades are also needing to be sharpened AGAIN. I don't get this at all, it seems way to soon, but I nearly busted my ass on a crossover, from a slip on the edge, and the instructor said it appeared a couple of my spins were slipped out of.

Seems like "good" (as compared to the ones from LL Bean) blades should last a little longer.
