The new skates are A. Maz. Ing. For reals. You'll hear more about it on the podcast but yes, I love them. They literally stick to the floor when needed and huggle my foot like a mama bear hugs her cubs. Of course, being new there are still hot spots where they hurt but that will change.

Last night I was involved in a few drills with the big girls. I kept up as best I could but had to drop out a couple of times because my endurance sucks.

But honestly, sometimes I get the feeling that I'm not sure i'll do this. It's not that I don't want to, but more of the I'm not sure I'm outgoing enough, or maybe I'll never get used to the fact that I've got to pay attention to ten things at once when I'm in the pack. I think eventually the strength and the stamina will come but the camraderie, the skill may take longer. I've been at it close to two months, you'd think I'd be there now. I've watched bouts, I've watched scrimmages, but I don't know.
