3 or Hurts, don't it?

The one thing that I can always count on is my coach doing some killer work outs on us skaters. The working out that we did on Thursday night and then on Saturday afternoon are still killing my body today. I am happy with the results so far from all my training since I have started back in July. My legs are nice and strong but there are other spots that can use some help... (are you listening to me, stomach!!!) Tomorrow, I know it will not be pretty.

2 or The Gear (Part of it, atleast)

1 or The Debut of Man Ram

I gave in. I started yet another blog to chart my love and obsession for roller derby. I hope I will make my girls proud by documenting my journey.

Who am I? They call me Man Ram. Well, it was my lovely boyfriend who actually started to call me that. It started out as a joke between the two of us. Man Ram was a nickname that originally belonged to a baseball player, Manny Ramirez who played for the Boston Red Sox and most recently the Los Angeles Dodgers (the baseball team from my home town). Manny Ramirez' nickname was given to him by a sports show host on ESPN named Jim Rome. Man Ram is also the first three letters of my first and last name too, like Manny. I guess it is a portmanteau to be more accurate. Anywho, I am Man Ram. #99.
