Skate and/or die

I went to Oaks Park today to skate and watch the derby endurance practice. I was feeling pretty good, cruising along. Vivienne Hell showed up and skated with me, along with another girl who's trying out, Megan.

Then I started watching the practice. For the love of all that is good and holy, those girls are in good shape. So fast, such endurance.

When I go to my first practice, I will either a) die or b) become a she-woman and/or supermodel. I will be in the best shape of my life. That being said, I have a long way to go before I could even think about making it through that practice. I would work my ass off to get there though. Along with practices 3 times a week, I am totally ready to still get up every morning and work out.

And once again, every girl I talked to was super friendly and very welcoming. I might sleep with my skates under my pillow tonight and wish really hard to become a derby girl.

Don't let the endurance practice freak you out. No one expects you to be able to do that right way (look at me, I still can't do it all!)

It was great having you there!
