Idaho mountains.

Trying to decide - should I skate tonight, and risk being in too much pain to (ice) dance this weekend? I really want to skate tonight, even though I'm sick of public sessions. Just the air and the raised heartrate and timid testing of edges and jumps and spins. Want.

The pain is from the boots - that leather is unforgiving, and I don't have years of callouses built up to protect me anymore. I need to re-develop them, so I ought to just push through the pain. But there's so very much of it. *cringe*

Maybe I could find some moleskin to help with the pressure.

It's so envigorating, skating. I hope I don't get scared and stop, because I really want to keep moving forward with this. I was thinking, with Joshua's help, that a skating trip to Sun Valley as a reward for re-building my skills would be a lovely thing to look forward to. During slack, when it's utterly quiet. March or April (but not spring break). Their indoor rink has the most glorious ice in the world. And the outdoor is fun, and smells good. Everything smells good, there. *chills* Maybe I could hook up with Oliver, too. Ooohhh, to dream.
