Roller Derby Practice

While at Overlook Park this morning for a run, I saw what I believe is the local roller derby team getting a little Memorial Day weekend practice out in the sun and fresh air. I sat on the curb by my car and watched for a bit as they practiced going through some formations as the coach shouted instructions.  I assume they were from the Dutchland Rollers, who play at the Overlook skating rink on the other side of the park, but I don’t know for sure.

Lancaster Junction Trail

I checked out a new running trail this morning: The Lancaster Junction Trail. It’s just off the Salunga exit of Rt. 283. I’d noticed the entrance of the trail several times when heading towards Harrisburg.

How I Watched the 2014 NFL Draft

This was my setup during Round 1 of the NFL Draft… I had ESPN’s coverage streaming on my iPad (I much prefer the NFL Network, but Comcast doesn’t let you stream that network yet), PhiladelphiaEagles.com on the larger second monitor of my laptop, and switching back and forth between NFL.com and ProFootballTalk.com (mostly NFL.com, though) on the main screen of my laptop.
