Slowly but Surely...

Derby started back up a couple of weeks ago, and I have skated every practice. It's a good thing I broke my left ankle, because I can't skate clockwise. All that hardware must be a little too rigid for me to catch that edge. No problems going the right way, though...just need to build that endurance back up.

Plans are to avoid contact as long as the hardware is still in, but Sunday night, I picked on one of our referees and almost knocked him off the rink with a solid shoulder check. I couldn't help it...he was coming out of the corner without crossing over and getting in my way...my body aches to hit something. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to contain it. June is so far away.
