Second session....

Well, I have been suffering from some severe back spasms ove the last month and let me tell you, even the extra strength Advils aren't quite doing their thing anymore. It is really the second day after skating where it sets in good.

I had my second ice time on Monday the 17th and once again, it felt good to be back on the ice. The CDN long distance skaters were there also which added a motivating flavour to the skate.

Right now, I am not trying to accomplish anything major with these sessions but moreso, simply trying to feel what the ice is telling me and how my body is reacting.

I will get another skate in before the week is up and I may just self time myself just to see where I am.......maybe a 1,000m sprint. I know with my back, the start won't be that dynamic but it will give me an idea nonetheless.

I missed my daughter though this time around......no one was making my coffee for me as she loves to do, nor did I have her beside me on the stationary bike warming up before the skate.

In the pic, the always smiling Alex, a fantastic full of life future Olympian with Meli and I.

Can't wait 'till the next session........let's see what happens.....until then......

Peace.
