Oh what a dilemma… Do I stay, or do I go? The subject to which I am referring, for those who can’t read minds, is the roller derby thing. I have been enjoying the practices and meeting new girls; however, I am very afraid of injuring myself permanently. I will start training for another marathon in a couple weeks, and I don’t want to risk major bodily damage in such a full contact sport. We haven’t even had a practice bout, yet I continually injure myself at practice. Most of the damage is from practicing falls, which I assume we won’t do forever, but there is also the issue that the league is getting more serious, as in charging us monthly dues and taking attendance at practice. I just don’t think that I will be able to keep up with the practice schedule and keep to a running schedule at the same time.
I guess I have made up my mind that roller derby, as in an actual bout, isn’t for me. I must admit that I am too afraid of injuring my body which I have just recently come to accept. I have intentions of continuing to go to practices until they force us to pay money, or I get hurt too much to run.
