Blue Ropes 1 - 11 - 14

Ropes was in the morning again. Yay!!! It's been really windy so I hadn't practiced a lot so I was kind of rusty. But I picked it up again really quick :) The weather was really nice again so I could rope with out my sweatshirt. I got to use my shirt with the patch sewn on for the first time! So I practiced toe dances for a minute. Can not forget how to do those or no White Ropes for me! Then I went to my 20ft rope to practice The Drag. It is really hard to switch hands fast enough and keep hold of the rope. I actually got it though! I really did it! Other times I was so close. I did break my nail but oh well :) I practiced that a lot and trying to keep from moving my arm. Then I tried my 15ft. I was struggling because it is so small compared to the 20ft. But I eventually got it to spin. So I was working on The Lay-down. I need to work on crawling up the rope more to get it above my legs when I lay down. It is a lot of coordination. I will get it eventually. I couple people had to run laps for saying I can't. I counted 3 other people on 15 and 20ft ropes. One of my friends was told to buy them today :) It was a really fun class. My jeans are wet and muddy because I was doing The Lay-down in the dirt and ice. My fingers are a little sore and rubbed raw. Ropes is a really fun Specialty!!!! I love it soooo much!!!
