Strong Coffee and Hard Hits

Woke up today super early so I nursed a cup of hot coffee and laid around... only for a bit because you know I always have to have something to do.

Made my protein-packed oatmeal pancake.

Today's version of my pancake had blueberries and cherries in it... wow, super delish!

With the peanut butter on top, yikes, this one was popping with lots of flavour!!!

The struggle is real -- laundry.

I should note that this is only 1 week's worth and all but maybe 2 pairs of pants and a top were all training clothes.  Ahhhh the life of an athlete.

This was definitely a first -- attended roller derby!!!

The location of the event was out of the way and we had troubles even finding the exact location but the swarm of cars gave hint to where it was.  We talked into this massive warehouse and BAM... an estimated +300 people for roller derby!!!

I had been invited to attend by this fierce female, Tara.  She's on one of the teams that participated today and despite her intimidating game face while playing she was super sweet.  

The idea behind me attending today was to get a feel for the sport and see if I want to join it.  
I'm thinking... I'm thinking... I'm definitely thinking ;)

A local celebrity from back in the day -- PJ Phil from the YTV show "The Zone" -- was there at the games and he kicked things off by blowing the starting whistle.
