Ouch

I'm angry at my body for protesting against me playing roller derby. I've felt really strong and healthy since summer because I've been working out a lot, but obviously roller derby brings out all my weak spots and I'm terrified that I won't manage to keep up, because I'm so in love with this sport. My physiotherapist was great though, I'm going there on Thursday to get a training program for my back, and I'm going to ask him about why the hell my heel has been hurting so bad lately. So I'm not going to let it stop me, but feeling weak brings me down.

Best practice so far :)

Saturdays practice was such a blast!! There was only 6 of us and no coach so it started out looking like we'd just skate around aimlessly but we worked really hard and had such a good time. I finally managed to do a couple of t-stops and we also made the best use of all the space by practicing cross-overs and 25 laps in 5 minutes x 2. Made it to 19 before time ran out, but I feel that it's more about working on my technique and speed than my grade of fitness, since I wasn't that tired by the end. Yay for having worked out a lot since the beginning of June! Had no idea then, that I would be a roller girl by October, but very thankful for it now! I also desperately need new wheels but I just can't decide what to get, plus I don't have very much money at the moment. Luckily Christmas is coming up!
