Supporting roller derby in your city is a great cause to support, whether you're buying tickets to a bout, getting merchandise or giving a donation for an event like this one. Derby gives women a chance to empower themselves, build social networks and get in shape. It's a sport run by and performed by women, and built from the ground up by volunteers. Support your local derby!
I've received pledges as low as $5 and as high as $25. If you would like to pledge money towards one hour of skating (for me, yes, surprise, I will be skating) you can give it to me in person or send it to my paypal account (daffy_cat@yahoo.com).
In other news, I bribed my podcast buddy's wife, my new friend Erin, to come out to try LOCO and she loved it. This afternoon we're heading to our local rink to practice and see if she can buy some skates at the pro shop. Good stuff! Can't wait for the extra skate time. I am woefully out of shape. My quads can barely lift me off the ground and my cardio is nil. I need this workout really badly, and I'm hoping I can get back up to speed soon. The great thing about LOCO is, there's no pressure. I can take my time, on my schedule.
If you, like my pal, would like to try LOCO and descend into the madness that is roller derby, send me an email! I'll hook you up with equipment and make sure to stand by your side. And, if you'd like to hear my podcast, go to allyourbasecast.libsyn.com.
