First day on my wheels! Went out to a park with my family to give them a try. Went better than expected with the exception of multiple bruises and scratches. Super proud and jealous of my husband's skating abilities. Take 13+ years playing hockey, many years on inline blades, and you get a guy who is skating backwards after 15 minutes on blades. I should mention that he hasn't skated for more than 10 years. Boys were so excited and are very eager to get their own blades soon.

First derby practice on wheels, second day on wheels. It was so much nicer to skate on smooth cement! My balance is getting better. Derby stance is good. The most natural thing for me was the off-skate workout at the beginning of practice. Totally missed my abmat for the sit ups. Sit ups on cement suck! Have my name and number totally figured out. Crossing my fingers that I can keep it once it's submitted. Went for a drink and some food afterwards with some fellow fresh meat teammates. Fun!
