Sporadic, but with Improvement

My practices are becoming less organized. I used to have a list of eight or ten moves that I wanted to get, and I would just work through my list, practicing each move for five or ten minutes, or until I got bored with it. When I got through the list, that was the end or my training. However, since Erika's not-dad gave us the advice on how to train juggling moves, I have focused more on a few moves that I really want to be able to do (Chinese crab catches, continuous back crosses, and five balls), while not practicing other at all (tornado, weave, flash three balls 180). I feel that I am making more and more progress with these fewer moves that I am working on. Five ball cascade was feeling REALLY good yesterday, with me consistently pulling off five catches, and occasionally pulling of seven tosses and seven catches. That in itself is nothing super amazing, but I was feeling really relaxed doing it, which felt nice. Crab catches weren't so good yesterday, but back crosses have been feeling better. I have gotten four in a row sometimes, and I am consistently getting three in a row. If I practice a lot during December, I just might have some of these new moves my Christmastime.
