I know, I know, it's been ages. I'm sorry.
I got a nasty bout of costachronitis, and now I'm pretty much over it, which is good.
So, I was sitting in my English class today, and I have decided that I really need to get my arse in gear. I haven't been to gymnastics since it started for the new year, so I am determined to go this Friday. I've gradually been doing running, more and more as I feel I can cope with it now. So, possibly going to the gym tomorrow, then gymnastics on Friday.
It's all good, and I have nothing to lose anymore.
Hooray for new beginnings.
Again.

Happy new year everyone. I'm sorry for my lack of updating, things have been going pretty slowly on the parkour side. No gym - not since that incident. No gymnastics - it's half term. What else is there to update on?

This is 2008, right? I hate, so much, how the front cover of every magazine is Happy New You. If I had a new me every year, I would die from multiple personality disorder or something. For me I've got a couple of New Year's Resolutions - most of them stem from Parkour, but I feel I need to keep something for me.

I found the best place to run - but because of the weather (not THAT again, I hear you cry) I can't go. Also my severe lack of ability.

This year? Run faster, work harder, do it better, make me stronger.
xD

I got the t-shirt! I am so happy!! I went in the post office before work and I went and got it, thank god.
There's not much to say really. Just that I got the t-shirt, hooray!

I was walking home today, thinking about my parkour t-shirt that still hasn't arrived, and when I reached my home I notice the orange delivery notice! Well I am ecstatic that I can go and collect it from the post office, when I notice that I won't be able to get it today. The post office is open till 19.00, which would coincide with me going to gymnastics - which would mean that I wold be waiting for ages...

That's my train of thought. Then I read more, it says please leave 24hrs before collecting. Darn. So I am like, well I have work, so I can collect it in my lunch break. My lunch breaks are usually at 1pm. The post office closes at 12.30 on a Saturday. So, I'll go before work.

But I can't, because before work isn't 24hrs (the item got delivered at 1.10pm.) So yeah. I'm going to go there before work anyway, demand my item, and if they say no because it's too early, I'll go at 12.25, wait inside until 1.10pm (after they are meant to close) and then pick it up. I have waited so long for this!!

Anyway, gymnastics tonight. I'm going to do decent stuff tonight, hopefully, because it is the last one before Christmas Holidays. So it really better be good. I'll probably go back to the rude gym after my haircut on Sunday, because the lack of exercise is killing me.

Oh, and B's coming today too! Last week the tons of guys there (most too young for her) were like, wolf whistling and whatnot. Haha.

Okay, I know that it's nearly midnight again. But I must update.
Today, F came up to me today.
"How's the parkour going?" Every day, I swear.
"Actually, really good."
"So, go on, flip for me."
"There's no flips in parkour."
Hahahahaha. Owned.
"That's free running." Me still owning him.
"What's the difference?"
"Bla bla (I filled him in, worry not.)"
Then we got onto talking about gymnastics and my visits there. I think he was pretty impressed, to be honest.
Gymnastics Friday. Last one for a while. I'm sad.

Hello blog. Oh, how the curse of the blogger be on me. I have gone from writing three blogs a day to one every three days. I'm sorry, it's not my fault - my life just got REALLY hectic all of a sudden.

You know I mentioned the t-shirt I ordered? It still hasn't arrived. I can't wait foreverrr!
I haven't been to the gym since the incident with the instructor and I haven't changed gyms yet - I'm saving that for New Year's. Though I am thinking I really really need to go to the gym again - I might have to pop in on Sunday afternoon (post hair appointment) just for light relief.

Parkour has not been active in these last two weeks except for my gymnastics visits It's a shame, I know, but once again I'm blaming it on the weather and my school work / work work / social life / fear.

I have noticed that there are a couple of major parkour groups in our county (through my research) and although I am nowhere near good enough to hang out with them I was thinking I might ask S to take me to spy on them and follow them round (In a completely non-stalkerish way ) just to see their ages, what they do, how many of them there are, etc etc.

Oh, I miss parkour. I must find out if B is coming to Friday's session of gymnastics - it's the last one before Christmas, and I really want to go.

Wow what a chaotic weekend. It's 23.38 on a Saturday.
Gymnastics yesterday (Oh, was it only yesterday?!) was great, as I went with B, we did some rope work haha, and I found out the bar I could vault over last week I now can't do. Next week is the last week before Christmas, and then it's a new year and then it's time to take it outside. I think I'm ready to hurt myself
I played a horrible trick on S the other day. When I first told him about my parkour-learning-ness he was all upset cause he thought I would break a bone or something, then recently I hadn't talked to him for ages and then he asked me how I was and I told him I was fine except for the leg I'd broken and the wrist I'd sprained during parkour. It was hilarious, mainly because he believed me.
(I honestly really didn't.)
Tomorrow is Sunday and who knows what it will bring. But right now I'm going to have to severely apologise for my lack of blogs recently - I have been overloaded. Well guys, I'm off to bed, before 12! For once.

Hm.
I went to bed at midnight.
But I was allowed to, I was put in a little bit of a crisis.
Gymnastics tomorrow!

Wow, my twentieth blog. Is there a prize for that?
Anyway. At the moment I'm in the conditioning phase - I'm building strength and sorting out my diet.

I'm on a temporary ban of fizzy drinks until tomorrow. I want to see if I can make it. I'm drinking more water this way.
I also need to get more sleep. Since the computer has been moved up to my bedroom I'm going to sleep at about 12/1am? It's silly. Tonight I'll be off by 10.30. Promise.

I ordered a tee-shirt from urbanfreeflow last night. It cost a total of £21 including postage and packing, but hopefully it will be worth it! (It is a really cool top!). I don't know when it's going to come. Maybe tomorrow?

On a parkour related side-note, I was just slipping into my business studies class when I heard F shout my name. I turned, quickly because I was late, and about to run into the door.
"Hey. How's the parkour?" he said. A hint of sarcasm? Disbelief? Patronisation?
So I walked off without saying anything. I really couldn't be bothered.
But, here's your reaction. "It's great thanks. I've learnt a lot."
There. No sarcasm, no jokes. Just...truth.
