Skating Love

I got a little reminder nudge, here's my update :-)

Roller Derby practice was absolutely AWESOME!!! It felt so natural to be on my skates, doing what the seasoned gals were doing. We did some fitness drills, stops (t-stop, plow stop), drops (knee drop, baseball drop), pushups, situps, hip work, squats, squats and more squats. Then we did some blocking practice which consisted of us skating around a mock track in pairs getting a feel for how to move back and forth on the track to block a jammer, and how to communicate with your partner through leg taps. We finished off with a game of tag, I was the "it" girl on the second round and even managed to tag out a some gals!

I learned quite a few new things, namely how to stop without just skating around in a circle... I met up with some friends later that night for a good meal and beer, boy did I need it! Yesterday I was a tad sore, but could still walk properly without wincing at all, today I'm feeling it much more! I'm proud of myself though I managed to do a set of my self prescribed morning exercises, only one set though... will have to work up to more and work on those squats! (my ass will thank me later)
