I am working on my Pivot Skillz, yo. The plan? To be an amazing Pivot. Simple as that, right? Well, maybe.
From here until the end of my school term I am going to wind up being late to practices. What does this mean? Well, I missed the scrimmage against the Nutcrackers. I am hoping the Cosmo scrimmage is kept at 9pm. We will see, though. For the Pivot skills, I need to work on my endurance and my speed. I need to be able to accept the star should there be a star pass. I also need to work on my footwork and agility.
The Ankle is almost healed. Attempting to work on Range of motion. It is a bit stiff, so... yeah. It is kinda sore when I bend it a certain way. But, with the exercises I should be able to regain full ROM.
Looking for a way to get more exercise in at home. If I had a space for it, I would be okay. I have also debated going to a gym again. But, I don't like going alone :-p I have tried getting a work our partner, but my schedule never seems to line up with anyone else.
So, my 2010 Roller Derby Goal: Pivot Skills and Endurance.

Been a while since I have a Roller Derby Update.
Last Monday (3/1) I was finally back on skates to scrimmage. Felt so good. I didn't go in every other like i am used to doing, instead I was in about every 3-4 Jams. At one point, though the line-ups "reset" and I went in 2 in a row. The crunch feeling and slight Pop in the ankle told me that was a bad idea. I was done after that. I wound up helping Bettie Off Dead with Fresh Meat drills the rest of the evening. I just could not skate-skate. It hurt. The past week I have used to heal (and get a new[er] car).
Today was out 1st Charity Blood Drive of the year. We got to 37 pints. Our goal was 50, and we were pretty close.
After that (and onto Non-Derby) I came home and then almost immediately headed out to Drunch with Tank'd. Sausage King is a truly magical place with sausages, beer, and fried foods of amazing. Love going to random FoodStuffs with Tank'd. Every month is seems she says "Oh hey food" and I go "Oh man! Count me in!" Lurve that girl.
Now, I am hanging out. Tomorrow is the first official SFOD meeting. We plan to talk strategy, captains, and 2010. Immediately to follow is Recruitment night. I cannot wait. I like to go and just hang out and skate.
Really, that is it. I am going to be late to practices, and miss the Nuts coming to visit by about an hour... but, that is life. I gotta keep at the school-thang.
Love Derby... (Now... to find something to entertain myself with this evening... )
