Fit for Derby
About me:
I am a 30+ school teacher who has been interested in roller derby since 2005. I finally had a chance to join a league, Assassination City Roller Derby, in 2008. I skated for about a year and a half before I gave it up due to financial issues and personal problems. When I stopped skating, I gained 50 pounds.
I've been easing my way back into derby by volunteering as a Non-Skating Official, and while that's great and all, I really want to skate again. I want that fire and passion back, and more than that, I want to come back better than ever.

This blog is not about a simple weight-loss or fitness journey. It's about my journey toward becoming a beast on the flat track. Here you'll find posts about exercise and food, and also lots and lots of posts about roller derby: the lifestyle, the boutfits, the injuries.

Learning Sucks, But You Should Do It Anyway

When I was four years old I could read at a fourth grade level, but I couldn’t tie my shoes so they weren’t going to let me into kindergarten. Find out what this has to do with your athletic performance.

Sick apex jump, sick jeggings, sick buffalo plaid jammer star, sick fucking mermaid hair.  Honestly this makes me want to be a boy and move to Minnesota.

PS: He landed it.
