Well I have one more skills test to pass and that's my endurance test. I have to do 20 laps in 5 minutes. I really want this. I know I can do this. But then there's the doubt that keeps creeping up in me calling me a failure like it has my whole life, telling me that I'm no good. Whispering in my ear that I'll never make it and everyone will make fun of you for not doing it. Well I guess I just need to wave my fist in failures face and tell it to F off!!! I need to build my confidence and say, come on Steph, you can do this, have faith!!! What have you been practicing for? Look how far you've come. When you started, you could barely skate across the rink. Now you're doing strides, pace lines, packs, hops, (which by the way do suck), crossovers, (not well, but your doing them), you've come a long way and in just 2 months.
When I get my laps done, I'm eligible for the draft which is November 8th. YEAH!!!! I have my name picked out. We have to have 2 and so far I only have 1. Right now I have the name Eileen Dover and I think I'm going to go with #925 only cause that's my month and date of birth or I could do #489 which is the month and year Brian and I got married. Hmmmmm, decisions, decisions. I need help figuring out a second name. Although, I've kind of thought of Flamin' Cherry Diablo!! I know dorky. Hmmmm!!!
Until next time!!!
