Finally.......

There here......got them yesterday....now, I just gotta skate in them. I love 'em!! Last night I soaked my socks, well, my daugther did cause she got a kick out of that....wetting perfectly dry clothes.....wet, warm socks into the skate and tie them real tight, more than you would normally, so at least the skate and leather start to take on the form of the foot. Then, 20 minutes by the fireplace, cause it was freakin' freezing yesterday, so the skates can get warm and humid since they were wet by the socks, and once more, tight as heck for another 20 minutes and walking in them around the house....thank God for skate gaurds or I would never hear the end of it from you know who......
Tonight, one more time with the wet socks and then I will be ready to try these fast rockets.
I am really frustrated that I lost a half season already waiting for these skates and then also waiting for snow and cold weather for ice so I can skate. I have booked a trip to Calgary for February so I can skate on the oval again....this time I will bring the camera.......I will keep you all posted.
In the meantime, we have been keeping ourselves busy with some cross country skiing....my daughter has done it twice now and she is a pro.
Training is going well and soon I will be starting some serious UFC style conditioning with a couple of friends from work..........at least I know I have the energy to expend that's for sure.
Stay tuned for stories of bumps and bruises....
Peace.
