Hey there! So. Last week I braved roller derby. And I’m pretty sure that they were trying to kill me. Also, remind me to skip doing legs the morning I have roller derby, okay?

Because that is a horrible, horrible idea. HORRIBLE. Trust me on this one.

As much as I didn’t want to workout on Tuesday (because I was pretty sure that I was dying), I sucked it up and did it. Yes, I only did a 30 minute practice, but it’s something. And something is always, always better than nothing.

I also took the plunge and made a personal commitment to get drafted to a team. I had so much fun learning on Monday night, but I knew I needed better skates. So I talked with Ish and we decided that in addition to my own pads (because after being gross and sweaty in the pads that someone else was also gross and sweaty in…barf.), I would go ahead and purchase a “fresh meat” package that included my pads, my skates, and a helmet. At least it adds some spice (and pain) to my weekly workouts…right?

We also switched Smalls’ to an earlier gymnastics class on Tuesday afternoons, so we run straight from school to gym. He had much better focus, and The Baby and I really enjoyed watching him.
