- Apologies on the tail end of a silence -
I threw my back out on Sunday at parkour, and have been bedridden for the past few days. Finally able to get up and move about today. I have to keep things reeeallly slow, but its a happy improvement. I’m still not sure what happened. I wasn’t doing anything complicated, must have just landed wrong or something. But anyway, the three days off of work has been a welcomed rest (nothing like being stuck in bed all day to make you get the proper amount of sleep) AND I’ve found a new medicine for backaches/muscle sprains, stuff like that. This stuff is great. The pain goes away within seconds and its got that all-important menthol burn…
(I don’t normally shill for things on this site, not counting the google ads, but this stuff has proved so helpful, I wanted to mention it)
Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming soon enough.
Glad to hear you’re on the mend. Parkour does look so enticing, exciting, but I don’t fancy the injuries myself. I shall stay an armchair traceur. ;-)

Yeah, I hear you. I’m not expecting to get to the point where I’m climbing on/jumping off buildings, but just a nice physical practice of flow and focus would be ideal. It more a mind/body integration thing I’m going for, I’ll leave the acrobatics to the high school kids. :)
And thanks for the kind wishes!
