Oh Dear.......

Haha just kidding :D

Loosened up, relaxed but completely focused.... 2009 should bring great things. I am extremely busy at the moment and probably will get progressively busier over the next five years or so; occasionally relieved by a summer holiday. :P

In terms of body, I've been made to put on at least a stone, putting my weight up to about 9 stone 6 Ibs which is weirdly fine for training with. Strength hasn't improved a lot, I am feeling a lot more endurance and strength in my lats/shoulders and I can feel myself being supported by my shoulders and back completely when balancing on my mitts.

I have been working on flexibility quite hard for two weeks now, which has vastly improved my flexibility. I can now touch my toes again with absolute ease and my groin is a lot looser, due to splits training (not very intense splits training, I'll admit).

In terms of mind, I've never been as focused and am feeling the benefits from training, work and music.

In terms of everything else, I have in turn become more spontaneous and I'm really enjoying life as I fit a lot into my day and thinking that I've become more able in every aspect each day is becoming routine.

We have a massive jam in Ipswich coming up, with pretty much everyone I've ever trained with coming. I'm really looking forward to that and the next few months ahead in general should be full with many wonderful things happening. Then SUMMMMMEERRRR!!!!! :D:D:D

2009 - Loosening up

At the time of my last post I was very stressed and felt unhappy with what I was doing and where I was. The stress was minorly caused by work load and pressure to get things completed but the major reason was because of myself.
I had lost sight of what I wanted to do; share the love and progress in my own way, respecting others' paths and intergrating thoughts and values into my own life.
I got too caught up in specific relationships and forgot that everyone is my friend and I have to nourish those friendships for them to grow and develop over time. This attitude recently came crashing down as I had two weeks enjoying myself training and seeing friends without the worry of work or trying to please anyone. My attitude for 2009 - taking everything as it comes, working hard but relaxing hard too, remembering that situations usually occur when I create them and, most importantly, sharing the love.
Although parkour makes me forget about everything else and refreshes me, I have realised that my progression and general enjoyment in parkour is largely correlated to my happiness as a person. Parkour inspires me and I need to share that inpiration with others and let other people inspire me to push myself in training.

As I said; share the love I feel and enjoy my life as I am extremely happy with it. Blane has inpired me to let what I learn about myself and the world through training shape me as a person and to share what I know with the whole wide world. Fear is of the devil, I will not let it consume me and I will continue to be afraid but challenge my fears to be able to eventually overcome them.

Man, don't you just love parkour?!
hehe much love peoples xxxxx
