Easy does it

Im beginning to come out of the other side of this lower back injury and able to make a plan to build up training again.
I am actually incredibly grateful for this injury...i have said that before with other injurys whilst also being incredibly frustrated but this time i can say with honesty that i enjoyed the break and the lessons which are;
-i was doing too much high intensity without the sufficient low intensity recovery time and activities...literally breaking my back as they say..
-i was doing things without my mind and body connected, occansionally because i was absent in some way but mostly because i was arguing with myself in some way.....the bottom of your spine is the core of your being and it would make sense that these tensions and troubles play out in many systems of body and action. United systems of physicality+mentality+emotion+intuition (and not muscles)=strength
- i had underestimated the recovery time of the body. Listening to feeling ready was probably listening to wanting to be ready instead..and although bodies heal fast its not just the site of the injury the specific bone etc that needs time. The experience happens with the whole body and each system takes on board the information it recieved during and after impact and the adjustments and compensations seem to ripple in out and around the body for months...im not the same everyday dont expect to be able to ever do the same thing...dont expect at all maybe?
-Parkour is not classes, training is not reps.....although this is part of how it patterns itself in the everyday. Dealing with the obstacles that come up = the practise. I dont need to look for obstacles...they will always be enough that find me.
The external is not the same as the internal. Parkour will always have an external face and it will always look energetic, impressive, flashy and bright to fresh eyes. I hope to never again train to look like i can do Parkour, i hope to never again care if what i practise impresses anyone.

Now...me and my spine are going out for a gentle run and maybe have a little chat and enjoy some oxygen together.
