Saturday + Roller Derby
After work on Saturday, I went to my first roller derby game. It took me a while to catch on to the rules – I had no idea there were jammers, blockers, pivots, and so many refs. And it is super hard-core. It’s fun to watch, but as someone who is clumsy and not very aggressive, definitely not my sport.
It did make me want to go roller skating though.
*I loved the gal’s hair on the right.
*I wanted this photographer’s lens. WOW.
*They score the points.
*They try to block the opposing team’s jammer from scoring the points.
*It gets aggressive.
*But ends well.
Week Seven: Crazy busy.
Vermont City Marathon Training – Week 7:
A quick recap! Last week was super jammed packed with work stuff. I started going crazy too. I showed up the wrong time for a meeting, accidentally deleted my entire inbox, and put the wrong location on a poster for an event. Ahhh, not cool.
Monday, February 13: 3 mile easy run.
Tuesday, February 14: Swimming class – we moved onto breaststroke. Yay!
Wednesday, February 15: Rest. Too tired to workout after work and tutoring.
Thursday, February 16: Unplanned rest day. Missed swimming class because of meetings, then worked too late to make it to the gym. Long day.
Friday, February 17: 4.5 miles on the indoor track before work. I was going for six, but didn’t get to the gym earlier enough before a morning meeting.
Saturday, February 18: Rest. I had a work retreat for most of the day.
Sunday, February 19: 11 miles with two fun running partners, which made a double digit run so much more enjoyable. Yes! (Truth be told, I stayed out too late the night before catching up with a friend I hadn’t seen in a while, so without them I would have been chilling on the couch with the cat instead of outside running.)
P.S. And…the post-run potato chip cravings are back.
P.P.S. Merlin likes to play with my socks at all times. Even when they are on me.
Weekly Mileage: 18.5 miles

Crazy. Breathtaking. Beautiful. Moving.
I’ve watched this about fifteen times the past week and downloaded the song.
