I had a dream!

Read other Parkour blogs. There are some serious conditioners out there and I need to become one of them. Please add a challenge folks.

More Freudian dream action.

I was dared to go to House no. 28 and tell a screaming blood soaked ghost woman that I was going to give her 1000 pounds, even though i wasn't. I got to 'intimidating terraced house no. 26' confident that I was up for the challenge. House 27 was set apart from the row and House 28 was a long way out of sight via dark, tangled brambles, uncertainty and isolation. I reasoned that telling someone I was going to give them money then not was unfair and dishonest, even if they were a screaming bloodsoaked ghost, so I turned back....

I take this to be a dream about fear and Parkour. There is a gap of experience always doing new things and if there is no strong similarity to a previous experience, no clear route or map I'm often not willing to risk the uncertainity.

My mental block lies just outside of House 27. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other I reckon.

TODAYS CHALLENGES
Staying 'up' all day i.e in the mood that produces a turn vault and not in the mood that produces arranging twigs on railings. DONE

Walking around London with my eyes closed. After a few steps that invisible wall paralyses me to the spot. I reckon trying to walk through it is helpful for breaking bits of the instinctual freeze response. DONE + 20 more mins of midnight rail balancing and a short run.

Also doing class twice today (dance and parkour classes-felt sooo good to dance again. I reckon its taken me 8 years to get to the point where I have ownership of my technique and I can work and play confidently around it. As im in my first year of Parkour in which I generally just struggle 95% of the time it felt great to breeze of something where the hard work was already in the bank)
