roller derby!

Nita and I went to watch the roller derby rec league on Tueday night and it was sooo weird being back in my childood roller rink! It was hilarious! From the the mini arcade, little blue cubby holes, banana yellow benches...it all looked just the same!
The practice looked so fun and the people were soooo nice that we decided to run home and throw on athletic clothes. We were a little late and intimidated by how good some of the people could skate that we wimped out and decided to watch this week.
They did about 30 minutes of warming up and skating in circles, forward skate, backward, on one foot, etc. Then we got to join them for stretching. Next, it was drill and scrimmage time. This part was a little scary! They did a snake drill where they bobbed and weaved through the line and even played a round of real roller derby!
It looked so fun, was a great workout and all the pros were so encouraging that Nita and I are putting on our quads and joining the fun in 2 weeks!! So excited!!!!! :)
