Derby love in unexpected places
April 22, 2013 by Eve Yllanside
Last week Erica and I decided that derby had focussed too much on our lower bodies and that our upper bodies needed some work. We researched a nearby box fit class and found ourselves at an adorable little studio on a Wednesday evening ready to smack down. We had an absolute ball. One of the […]
2012 in review

WordPress gave me a report on my blog stats for 2012. Want to know who commented the most? Akka would’ve won but she split her count across two profiles.
