OK, so I have my official statistics for exercise in March.

The worst thing about it is that I walked/ran 7256 steps per day on average, way lower than my plan of about 10600/day.

But I am giving myself a pass on that.

One, it's still the best result since October of 2025.

Two, March is the first time since 2024 I have recorded running in a month (only 422 steps per day on average, but still!). It's also the most running in a single month since, brace yourself, November of '22.

Three, it's the first time since 2024 that I have recorded bicycle riding in a month. It was over 130 km, which amounts to over 4 kilometres per day on average (precisely 4377 metres, because I'm a meticulous numbers nerd). It's the most bicycling since August 2023.

Four, I was at #rollerderby practice 7 times, not counting two events when I was helping with stuff.

Five, I lifted weights 5 times total.

So in summary, this is EASILY the most consistently physically active month I've had in years. Probably well over 10 years.

I intend to keep it going, too!

Die größte, beste, geilste, kleine Serie (möglicherweise überhaupt dieses Jahr im ZDF), dürfen sie schon seit gestern wieder in der sendereigenen Mediathek abrufen. Alle Folgen, wie sich das gehört, alle Staffeln, wie Bingewatcher*innen sich das wünschen. Und sie ist ein Fest für die Sinne. Besonders für die, welche gemeinhin zu kurz kommen, zum Beispiel in mulitimillioneneuroschweren internationalen Co-Produktionen auf multimilliardenschweren Streamingportalen. Klein, schmutzig, französisch und vor allem: weiblich! (ZDF, Wh.)

C'est qui qui a arbitré 5 matchs en SBO au championnats N3 ce week-end et qui va donc être labellisée FFRS ? 💪

Our derby league finished out the regular season last night with tied standings: 2 wins for every home team.

I love that I never, ever know who's going to win when I get ready to announce a Kansas City Roller Warriors bout.

I don't get cold easily. It's gotten notably worse on HRT but I still wear one layer less on average than people I pass on the street. If not more than one.

So bicycling was not a problem, except my hands. Given that they're exposed and nearly immobile, it did get unpleasant on longer rides at night (like when returning from #rollerderby practice).

And I've always hated gloves. I'm talking, since I was a little child. Likely due to being #actuallyautistic but who knows. Point is, it was a sensory issue.

And wow. Fingerless gloves are a game changer.

I bought a cheap pair at Decathlon a few days back that are meant for weightlifting and the like, but they work nice as bicycle gloves. Being slightly padded means I don't have to constantly shift my grip lest my palms get ouchy.

And it's so much warmer and nicer even when the temperature is approaching freezing.

Plus they kind of look and feel neat to wear.

So a hint for anyone else who gets cold hands but has hated gloves: try this kind of fingerless ones for sports. Maybe they'll work for ya too.

EDIT: oh, and I have like huge hand dysphoria and think they look like a man's hands. A lot of that dysphoria is alleviated by these gloves. My hands still look big but not man big, more like butch girl big. So that's another big plus.

Olen ylpeä siitä, että harrastan sellaista urheilulajia, jossa transihmiset ovat tärkeä osa yhteisöä. Olympialaiset eivät kiinnosta, ja olympiakomitea saa minulta keskisormen.

Koetan seuratoiminnassa edistää sitä, että meidän seuramme olisi mahdollisimman inklusiivinen ja tukisi monenlaisia urheilijoita. Meillä on käytössä unisex-pukkari, jotta ei tarvitsisi miettiä, ketkä menevät miesten ja ketkä naisten pukuhuoneeseen ja keille ei jää mitään. Ja homma pelittää varsin hyvin.
