Early 2022 Parkour Fun

2022 started with the back thing, but fortunately I recovered in less than a week. Not ancient yet! The secret was walking and yoga. And these pot gummies that are completely legal. Last weekend I decided that it was time to get back to exercising again, and I'm so glad that I did! It snowed out on Friday, and so Saturday class was a snowy workout. Our usual teacher wasn't there, so we did everything a little differently. We didn't get to meditate and the warm up was a little different, but it was good. We mostly practiced getting used to moving on the snow again. After class, a big snowball fight broke out, of course! The snow was packable, but you had to really hold it in place for a minute or so to get a good snowball, which is a long time to be vulnerable without snow to throw. One of our coaches, has the strongest arm and could stand out of our reach and hit us with snowballs. It was pretty impressive.

Sunday I was going to go to the earlier class at 9:30, instead of the 11 am one, since the earlier class is easier. But, I wanted to sleep a little later and have pancakes for breakfast. So, I toughed it out in the later class, but with pancakes in my stomach. On the minus side, there was a dead rat at the highschool where we trained, and we had to keep running past it. On the plus side, we again ended with an epic showball fight with snow that was much easier to pack. It started out as everyone for themselves, but then evolved to adult class and coaches vs kids class and coaches. The kids class was on higher ground and had better things to stand behind, so in the end it was a pretty even fight. 

Today (Wednesday), we did our usual running, which was not so fun, but the rest of the class pretty much was. We did some balancing, some route building, I did 83 squats and some pushups. I've been trying to be extra careful about covid, so I told my buddy who I usually go out with after class that I didn't want to eat inside. So, we got takeout from the Pho restaurant and ate it my garden in the freezing weather. It was a really nice picnic!
