A relatively short skate on Wednesday night, mainly due the fact that young A (5) was being brought along by Jess for his first skate since last year after his return from Bali. He was sooooo cute when he rocked up in his toque and proudly bearing his Bauer skates for us adults to help him put on.
Cutting a long story short, the little fellow was hampered by the fact that he'd grown a couple foot sizes over the past four weeks, was tired, and had a tired mum (who, as a result, was a little shorter than usual in her demands for independence from her son) and it all ended in tears. Ce la vie.
I stayed there about an hour longer with Craig. I'd remembered to tape my knee this time and concentrated mainly on backwards cross behinds. Making progress, could feel the outside edges biting when I reverted to the more usual crossovers. Used thick socks for the first time in the new skates, had no dramas with foot pain.
Maybe I will be able to wear them into the back half of the season afterall?
