- You buy a portable DVD player for the training and technique videos you keep buying (because you don't have a laptop with DVD player or own a DVD player anymore)
- Your feet become ugly and deformed in spots
- Almost all of your Internet activity is skating related: Icenetwork, eBay for dresses, skating shops, custom dress designers, YouTube, Skating Forums, Facebook skating groups, USFSA, boot and blade manufacturers, etc.
- You could spend hours on iTunes searching for music for future programs. Programs that are years away from even being considered!
- You hobble off the ice in pain thinking "I don't know if I can test in 3 weeks. My foot is KILLING me. And it's looking really bad!" but by the time you get home, you know you will go back to the rink the next day and practice more and test in 3 weeks regardless.
- You realize all you talk about is skating so you try to keep in more on the down low but you can't!
- You change your standard workout routines to "off-ice training". If it doesn't benefit skating, why bother?
- All of your pants are tight in the thighs.
- When a hockey camp comes and invades your rink for a week, you get depressed and antsy because your typical sessions aren't available.
