Ice Capades

As the temperatures continue to drop below zero, more and more ice rinks have been opening up around the city. The time has come to face my fears and learn how to skate!

I've made three forays into the world of recreational ice skating over the past few weeks and have even purchased my very own pair of pristine white figure skates from Canadian Tire. I feel that I'm starting to look slightly less like a newborn baby giraffe, but there's definitely room for improvement. With a little more practice I'm confident that come February, I'll be effortlessly skating along the Rideau canal at the Winterlude festival in Ottawa. Maybe I'll even throw in some triple axel jumps for fun!
