So my pal Jessi convinced my to bring my old skates from the 1980's
down to the fairgrounds, and skate with the roller derby girls. We learned
falling techniques, did cone exercises, skated in packs. It was the first
real exercise, and I've had since having Aiden! Boy what a workout,
and so much fun. All of the Nashville Roller Girls are super sweet, and
patient with the Fresh Meat, as they call us. There are about 17 girls
competing for a few slots on the Derby. But, even if we don't decide
to go for the Derby gold, we are welcome to skate, workout, and have
fun twice a week. Sounds good to me right now!
