parkour

[gfish]

I haven't been doing much parkour for the last few weeks, due to STP and a very annoying coccyx injury. But I have continued improving my upper-body strength, and I just tested myself on a small run around campus. It's always an amazing feeling when you find your body can do something it never could before.

I'm still not great at wall runs, but I'm not just hanging there useless anymore either. And I finally managed to do a couple kong vaults! They were ugly, but eh. Hopefully now that I've got past the mental block about diving headfirst towards hard objects, I should be able to refine the technique.

My main problem is that I still feel far too self-conscious to practice much by myself. Parkour isn't the most subtle of activities -- it draws a lot of attention.

oh, yeah. That episode. They had to apologise for ramming the tree after they received lots of really irate mail from the village residents and town council.
