Just a few of the many things changing in the IJS…….
1. Spin position variations can no longer be repeated for level credit. Do a hair cutter in your layback, and you can’t repeat it in your combination spin.
2. Goodbye original dance in ice dancing.
3. ….and more, this is really a test post.
Until 6 months ago, when I embarked on this Olympic shooting adventure, I was a beginning adult freestyle skater. As of Saturday, I am again. Trying to make the Olympic shooting team has been downsized to 3 days a week of my time, as I will be trying to make the team in the fall instead of spring now.
I will be doing ONE figure skating competition this year: Vail.
As of yesterday, I am down to 218 pounds. I haven’t weighed 218 since I passed it on the way UP to 260, about 7 years ago.
I am also working on this Couch to 5k program, in order to get back into running form. What running form? Most believe would find this hard to believe, but “back in the day” when I was in the military, I was a runner. Half marathons, to be exact. I really want to return to that form, and really want to do well on this Warrior Dash thing in August.
Tonight is a light interval thingy – run 1 minute, walk 2, repeat 10 times for 30 minutes.
Tomorrow is a Turbulence Training workout. Ugh, I hate those. Dang you, Craig Ballantyne!
