X-Post, starting adult ice skating classes tonight

Well, I am at a place in my journey where I feel this would be worth the funds I'm about to spend. Most of you know how much I enjoy ice skating, but I've forgotten how to do more than basic stuff. So, tonight, and every Thursday night, I will drive an hour each way to participate in lessons. The rink I will be using also has a perk, if you are a student, public sessions are free any month you are in class. So, this means that when I'm in the area, I can drop in even if the time is short. I need to relearn a lot so I can teach my granddaughter more when I have the opportunity to visit. Yes, it is quite a drive, but I did a similar drive to Kaiser's options classes for 3 months. This is just going to be way more fun.

I'm like you, an ex-skater but I haven't been on skates in at least 12 years or more (we had an adult syncro team but it folded when our coach moved).  Anyway our gym, which is attached to our areana is offering a new program at lunch hour called "Butts and blades"  its a cardio class with leg/butt sculpting on the ice so I am super excited to join up.  But first Santa has to bring me a new pair of skates - one of my teenagers used mine last  .... nuff said.  grrrr

That class sounds great. I hope Santa got the message about the skates.

Sounds like a lot of fun Linda.  I want to try ice skating again.  It seems like a lot of fun but I am sooo clumsy that I'd have to be extra careful!

When Alison has recovered, we need to plan a skating day. I would love to help you learn.

That sounds awesome!!  So does "butts n blades" lol!  I'm an ex-skater, too and haven't been on the ice in years for fear of...well you know:)  Anyways congrats to getting back to doing something you love:)

It was great. It was also a great workout.

I wish I could join you! One day soon :)

As soon as you have recovered. It will be a lot of fun.

I bet this is going to be one of your favorite things to do all week.  I look forward to my classes with such anticipation and joy and I am sure you will too.  Enjoy, life just keeps getting better.
