Booking mine and hollies tickets to lisses today, planning to go twice this summer. Once in June and again in july with the guys. :D Yays! Hope the weather is good. Im yet again procrastinating from revision....

At gym..(which is really the only time im getting to train properly at the moment with my exams) im trying to make three sessions a week. Last week I trained with Jason at the BHS area, practising underbar variations. Climbups, wallhops and little movements. Was a good little session, apart from the fact I was wearing jeans and had to go buy some jogging bottoms to have any movement lol.

Wednesday at gym was good for my tricking, my front somis are now onto gymnova (soft floor) and high, but they need to be more consistently high before I take them to grass without feeling too much impact on my shins.

Learnt to backtuck onto mats FINALLY, after having a mental block for a stupid amount of time although I am twisting slightly, also tried backflip but i wasnt so successful..didnt land on my head but still appalling.

Muscleups were good on wednesday, even at the end of session after conditioning and pullups I could still go both arms, yesterday though they were appalling and ive strained my shoulder a little.

Yamakazi seminar sunday yays, cant wait to see stephane and williams again, I love the way they move. Especially williams, but thats probably because I can relate his build a bit more to my own. Meeting the rest of the yamakazi, goudot and thomas will be wicked but I know im going to get physically owned from conditioning lol!

Exam on monday and tuesday...what the hell is wrong with me? ??? What is so hard about picking up a book and reading it? Im so crap with the reading and absorbing thing. Damn short attention span.

Apologies about the sparse posts, I find it hard to sit down and write ANYTHING, let alone about myself. But at this moment in time im procrastinating (revision) so will write up a little of whats going on. At the moment i cant train as much as i want due to exams..ive got some targets both for parkour and improving my spacial awareness, strength and gymnastic ability (cause to be fair, it sucks)

Main improvements in last couple months:
Parkour:

I can climbup with both elbows above the wall simultaneously
Two armed muscle up

Gymnastics:
Clean front walkover
Front somi without mats
Backbend to kickover (soo soo close to back walkover)
Handstand to catpass through
Major handstand improvements

My general strength declined a little bit, since I caught glandular fever over easter, been feeling wiped out a little bit too easily. Midday naps are the business if i have time at the moment. But because of the break in my training, general conditioning isnt as good for the moment.

Got 4 uni exams this month:
Psychology
Motor analysis
Sociology
Physiology

and they are NOT fun. :(

Jasons going to work with his dad for a month, which means ill be taking the junior parkour class up at the body and mind centre, big group of 12-14 year olds...ill either be walking around with a big smile or patches of hair missing.

Major technical concerns at the moment with diving catpass and cat pass precisions, got a bad technique for my pres at the moment...im craning everyything. Diving catpass over rails/walls, still a little unsure of with fluid. Although it has greatly improved.

take care my lovelies. xx
