Hello!

For anyone interested in reading about the experiences and journey of getting back into figure skating as an adult, I'm currently running and writing a blog pertaining to this. I've never actually done a blog before but I felt like sharing my experiences with others would be enjoyable. I haven't made it to the ice yet but I have written several entries that are leading up to my first lessons. Any input, comments or advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Just a quick entry today. I went and picked up a pair of men's figure skating pants the other day. I was going to use track pants but finding a pair with a decent fit was difficult. Me and my fiancée actually drove a fair distance to get them and while they are nice (And currently being tailored to the right leg length) I have to admit, I'm a touch jealous of the ladies. Maybe I just didn't see any alternative mens styles but seriously, look:

So much this! Exactly my thoughts all the time.

I envy the ladies for how many options they always have, it starts with the hair, the outfits, the make up... I just always look like I always do. :laugh: A very interesting read, keep it up :)

Well, I've got at least one of the above covered :D My hair is about 3/4 of the way down my back ^_^ I've considered getting some custom skate pants with like a rainbow lightning bolt down one leg. That'd be cool :D

Glad you enjoyed the read! New entry is coming soon ^_^

Honestly, it's the best choice I've ever made. Not only has it been loads of fun, but the skill just makes you have that wonderful feeling inside <3 Honestly, I highly recommend it! If you ever want to chat about getting back into it, I've always an open ear!

Thanks! Any reads and comments are GREATLY appreciated ^_^
