Feeling Nostalgic

Today I was having the kind of day that required listing to Saint-Saens’ “Danse Macabre” on repeat – which was great, but it got me second guessing my choice of program music for the upcoming season!

I used to skate to it – I think it was my Jr Bronze test program?

I LOVED it… But I got a ton of flack from judges about it being too “dark” and “masculine”.

It suited me so well – I wasn’t a flouffy pink dress kind of skater!

In my nostalgia today, I felt the need to sketch up what my competition dress looked like – it was full black tights, skate covers and gloves.

Front and back views of a black, blue, and purple skating dress.

It suited the music and my program. Loved it!

Hey, I'm Marie!

I skated as a kid, and have been making the long, rough road back as an adult.

This time, I have a husband to drag along with me :)

I started back in early 2019, and ran into dual roadblocks in 2020 - the pandemic, and being severely crippled by FOUR PILLS of Ciprofloxacin - an antibiotic that destroyed most of the tendons in both of my feet.

Oh, and pancreatic cancer. Fun stuff.

I've learned to walk again, and in October 2021, I started back. Again.

Here's where I'll chronicle the whole mess!
