Fresh Meat!

Fresh meat open skate tonight was great! A big thank you to Liz for correcting my derby stance-it made a huge difference in my balance as did tightening my skates a bit.  My body is used to very deep Crossfit squats and they are counterproductive in derby stance.  Mr. Miyagi would say "bad for balance, Melanie-son."  Good to know.  Broke out my shorter than short purple tutu and loved every minute of it.  My dear silly husband wanted me to stop on the way home to grab some beverages and I am sorry to say that wearing a tutu while skating derby is one thing, but walking into a store dressed that way is another.  Maybe I just need to ease into that experience a little more first.  On a different note, snagged the last Crossfit Bismarck t-shirt that Brian had to get some "out & about" pics when we are in South Dakota over the 4th of July.  Totally want to get a handstand pic by Mount Rushmore!  Guess you will have to wait and see . . .
