Today was my first real official practice as a Roller Girl (Ref).... Ow, ow owowowie!!!! For those of you who do know me think of the phone call you got after my first step aerobics class... and Ben and Scott think of me on the kitchen floor moaning in pain. Yeah, it is a good kind of ow. It is the kind of OW that will help me get back in the shape I had been loosing.

On to the derby side of this. I joined a league called the Dominion Derby Girls. I am learning the ropes now and trying to get my old rink rat standards of skating back. Today I learned the one knee fall, double knee fall, 180, and the figure 4. I also learned that shuffle skate is a crossover and will help me gain speed, esp if I can pick my feet up! Also I am on the hunt for a good derby name. Here is the roster. Let me know if you have any ideas.
