On the right path? Ultimate questions answered!

This blog is embarrassing. Not only does it document my weaknesses for anyone (although currently no one but my mum who misses me) to read, there is also something disquietingly exhibitionist about it. Is it the right way to do things?*


Are you on the right path?! Another ultimate question!.... and its only day 3:.).

In general the actual question is often is there a quicker way to do things, or maybe is there a less painful way to do things or even is there a more appropriate, more beautiful, more intelligent way to do things. By things I mean anything; get over railing, give advice, pack up stuff to go to Italy, do tax return, realise your dreams.

But Parkour is about moving forwards, moving onwards, getting over obstacles in the most efficient and fluid way possible. The key thing being 'possible'. My current loud, clumsy and slightly theatrical personal style may not be efficient or fluid.

But its a hell of a lot more efficient than standing on the spot analysing the pro's and con's of various courses of action.

So I will stick with it, moving forward, the best way I know how.

TODAYS CHALLENGE
Stephane's 5 types of monkey walks warm up. (For Shi: I say Stephane because that what we sometimes do with him. I called it 5 types of monkey walk but I guess they are more accurately described as monkey walk forward and back, bunny hop forward and back, bunny hop straight arms and legs forward and back, sideways monkey straight legs and crab shuffle (hips up forward and back. Its over a set distance which is hard to visualise so I did between 2 trees that where 70 of my feet apart.)
20 min skip around Greenwich Park. (much better than running, less impact, raises more eyebrows)
45mins of round rail balancing. DONE

*'Things' more specifically meaning ensure I live up to the commitment to Parkour which I love by training hard, challenging myself everyday, achieving a level of skill and finding a way for it to occupy an increasingly proportion of my life in a fun way that documents and encourages my progress and that puts me outside of my comfort zone.
