So I went skating last night. I had to go my by myself because my co-worker who was going to go with me forgot she made other plans. It turned out ok though. I skated for about an hour and realized how sore I was still from the other day when we went skating. CRAZY! I met this amazing girl who was super nice, she was skating with her fiance and her soon to be step kids. Super sweet girl! She is a musician which is totally awesome, she said she plays in a swing band which is even cooler. Anyway, she said she has a couple of friends who play Roller Derby, I love this girl already! It was great meeting her and hopefully I will see her at the skating rink again.
I am planning on going skating again tonight, we will see how far I get with being so sore, I am going to have to learn how to push through the pain. I have set some goals for myself from the North Star Roller Girls Recruits Group on Yahoo Groups. They said you should be able to skate 5 laps in one minute or less. OMG is this even attainable for someone who is as out of shape as me? So I am going to shoot for this by tryouts for next month. We will see, I will keep you all posted on how that goes. Another goal is to be able to skate 20 laps within five minutes. We shall see!
I also wanted to share with you all the benefits of Roller Skating. This link has some really interesting information about the health benefits of roller skating. Take a look, I never would have thought about this. http://www.skateland.net/pdf/skate_heart.pdf
I will hopefully be posting pictures of me in action here soon. Can't wait to share more about my crazy journey into the world of Roller Derby.
