Kind of rough practice. The skills test was today, which I'd been looking forward to before I got hurt, and I decided to go so I could see what the test was like, even though I couldn't do the laps or anything involving contact with other players (hip bumps, driving people off the track). Did the parts of it I could do, but wished I could've done them better, even though it didn't count for anything! Didn't feel comfortable enough to practice transitions at speed yesterday, but tried them anyway today and fell, but thankfully on my kneepads. On the bright side, I did knee taps and double-knee taps better than the last time I tried them, even though I hadn't really practiced them!!! Also when I watched people do the contact-y parts of it, there was lots of falling, which made me feel less like I was missing out and more like I'd made the right decision not to do those parts. Stayed and watched the rest of the practice after, and I learned complicated things about roller derby rules. Buttttt a bit emotionally rough, and it's a long commute for me to get 15 minutes of skating in. So may not go Thursday.

Did a few pushups with other injured teammate and non-injured teammate's daughter.
