Soooo my GAL has been doing well over the last year, well it feels like it has. Trying new things and putting myself out there...sometimes Just to get out of the house, but have been trying more and more to do more and be more that a lump of crap on the couch.
one of my secondary 'goals' for myself was to see what I could do to be on some kind of sports team, in all of my years I've been on teams before (High School, Jr. High, elementary) I've done sports and been on teams, but always individual sports like golf, tennis, swimming, bowling, etc. Even captain of chess team and swim team, but it was just not the same as a team sport. I played sports as a kid through high school but never organized....so It has been in the background for some time trying to work its way up.
I've looked at soccer teams, softball, basketball, bowling...just nothing struck me as what I wanted to do. Yesterday I went to my first Roller Derby practice for a local team. I am nowhere near track ready, so they will work with me during practices until I am roster ready. Don't know how long that will take...everyone is different on how they progress.
It was grueling and I had a blast. There are two practices a week plus they get together after Wednesday night practices for beers and sunday morning practices for brunch. This is an experience I've never been a part of. SO YAY.
Well I am very excited about this, body is all sorts of sore from the workouts, but can't wait to get back on the floor this sunday.
(BTW: I debated using Zephyr as my derby name, but don't think I will, i'd rather keep this DB board experience separate)
