The Eyes Of A Spectator

So I had alot of fun with parkour, and I did some crazy stuff with my friend Aledort. He's been training in parkour for around 6 months from what he told me. While I'm more into scaling buildings and jumping off random things and objects and climbing everything, he is into precision and detail and smooth transition. He's alot better than me when it comes to being able to do stuff, but I have more courage and faith in myself I guess, and I just take leaps and bounds and jump gaps and stuff.

We went to North Woodmere Park and when we went there we saw him at the kids playground. He spends time there working out, and when I think about it, it's a really great place to work out. There's monkey bars, rails, and lots of room to get a full exercise, and it's free.

So we train balance for a little bit, and then we go to another place where there are two main buildings. We just start climbing the walls and jumping off and practicing and it was amazing. There's around a 15 foot wall that I could not scale but I rolled off of it and I'm starting to get better already I think. Then we got kicked out because parkour is originally meant to do in places that you shouldn't be.

Overall I put alot of strain on my body the whole day, and I came out with 3 big bruises overall. Yes, all of them bled, and they will all scab, but that doesn't worry me, it's part of training, and it's part of extreme sports, like parkour. I have one on my elbow, my knee, and on my leg.

When I woke up this morning, my whole body was sore, and I actually like that it's sore, because it means that my body has slightly adapted and gotten stronger, and next time I do anything, my body will be better than ever.

I got some really nice pictures out of it, and I'll hopefully be able to post them up sometime next week, as they are on my friend's camera.

Won't be posting till around Sunday night, or Monday.
