Conversion...

I thought I had "crossed the line" of becoming a fully commiting traceur in the summer. Apparently not....

Recently, my training has become regular, 100% focused and I train around what I feel I should be improving with the vast knowledge I am gaining. I train every day for at least half an hour - with a fully structured session that will loosen me up and take my mind off things at the very least. Movement has become my best method to let go and relax, while remaining focused and working hard at achieving my goals.

It is these factors that lead me to believe parkour has indeed become a way of life for me and the cycle of: learn, think, work hard, think, do or not do but build up to the action in a way that is pushing myself and striving for my desired action, is something that is currently within me. I have entered a pattern of thought processes which have made it a lot easier to commit and is radpidly increasing my rate of progression.

The most important factor, I feel now, is to be training regularly. With the basic knowledge that I have obtained I can spontaneously train safely and effectively, and doing this regularly makes me feel a lot more aware of my limits and my realistic boundaries. Now I have started to feel the results of being like this - stronger, more flexible, faster, more powerful, more controlled, more consistent etc. - I only have the intention of carrying on along this more dedicated journey.

Ross and I have been doing hell nights mostly on our own recently, but still doing it. We plan to make it a bit more of an occassion and hopefully start to do it in a more Urban environment in the future. I am feeling very excited about this summer as well!! :D
