flexagonAre you tired of the Tuesday "oh my god, I did X tonight"? That's unfortunate if so, because oh my god, you guys, I did my first back walkover tonight! Nobody was spotting me, there was nothing I can use to tell myself I only almost did it.
I'm sure it looked funny, and it stretched my intercostal rib muscles like crazy. Later in the night I did a second one that I think probably looked less funny. So, now I've done two. :)
Didn't get to practice back tucks at all, so there was no building on last week's little triumph, but that's all right. Acrolife is good. Walkovers are something I've been close to for a long time, so I know that tonight wasn't a fluke, and I don't need a springy floor for them either; I'll be able to practice them on grass and other surfaces like that.
As an aside, I've lost the last two entire workdays to Frustrating Technical Troubles, and I kind of am mentally blocking out the fact that I have to go to Montana in two days, and our new kitty doesn't like any of us yet. Bright side! Walkovers! Okay.
