Self Portrait Sunday 1/2/11
First Self Portrait Sunday of the new year! And only looking a bit like I need some md clear 
You can tell from the braids that it’s a derby day! Post-practice picture, actually.
Practice this morning was awesome! Sunday practices tend to be my favorites. They are half an hour longer than Tuesday/Thursday practices, and there are usually less people that show up. It feels like we get to work harder and push ourselves harder. Especially when it comes to scrimmaging. Because there was such a small group, we only swapped out 1-2 people in each jam so we not only got to play a lot, but we got to work together a lot and really pull it together. I felt like I played well this morning. There was one time that I was holding back the other team’s jammer and two of their blockers all by myself until one of my teammates made it out front to help me. Another time, I was chasing down the other team’s jammer, and I actually almost caught her! I don’t usually chase because I can never get there in time, but I pushed it and almost got there this time. At the last second, my own jammer used me for a hip whip… the whole thing was just amazing.
And of course, I can’t post this without saying Happy Birthday to my mama!
