Adding everything up, I've done a metric 100 this week (skated Monday, Wednesday and twice on Friday). Though it's nice to be properly back - week previous I did an RC and nothing else, week before that I don't think I skated at all - it seems to have been a surprise to my feet: raw patch on outside ankle bone left foot, and on back of ankle right foot. The former is easily explained as being due to excessive T-stopping (until I rotated that foot's wheels on Friday evening, the bevel was such that the frame was effectively off-centre). The other I'm not so sure about, but I think it may be related to possibly having sorted out my lop-sided push a bit (every time I've noticed it lately I seem to be getting a good carve on both sides - which is a step in the right direction, but what I'm doing the rest of the time, I dunno) and driven something else wonky in the process.

Two-arm swing still feels good and mostly unforced - still haven't actually seen it except in shadows, though - and I seem to be starting to crossover on right turns without thinking about it much. All told, I've had worse weeks.

Weekend off: weekend spent in furtherance of my undeclared new year resolution to make my flat human-habitable (though I'll happily settle for Dan-habitable as a second best, I'm not fussy). Saturday I inflicted an IKEA visit on myself (that thing you can see on the right: it's all my lycra together in one place for possibly the first time ever), and today has mostly been sitting in a coffee shop hacking. And writing blog entries.
