I have a nifty life.

Sunday: parkour classes for 3.5 hours in the afternoon, seeing Rocky off (he's leaving for very big famous circus school). Balancing on fences and pipes, climbing around a small stone house, cat-jumping to a wall, more balancing on pipes. Caught up with some people I don't see often, but who tend to turn out for interesting movement training; even scheduled a handstand lesson with one of them.

We finished with 10 sets of 10 box jumps alternating with max-out sets of pull-ups, for which they gave us half an hour. I think my jumping's getting better... but oh, everyone was SO sweaty. There were lots of parkour guys with their shirts off, by the end. :-) Don't know if I want them but it was nice to look.

Tonight: staying late at work after Scooper bailed on me for acro, I randomly got called at 9:00 for a last-minute acro photo shoot on an MIT rooftop with the Boston skyline in the background. So my slacking on leaving for a real workout was rewarded with a couple of hours of late-night awesome. The photographers were doing 2-second exposures, with a guy running around us doing light-painting while the other one manned the shutters... very cool effects, especially the shots where the other flyer and I were wearing metallic silver suits. It all comes out very dreamlike and amusement-park, and I can't wait to get copies of the pictures.

I intend on checking out the oahu parkour group when I get back as well as checking out the adult gymnastics place I found. They have ages training there from 5-88 years old!

The acro photo shoot sounds awesome. And parkour, whee! B and I have been meaning to go to a class together here (he's been to one, I never have) - he has a friend who goes regularly. I am sure that if/when we do go, it will kick my ass, but I'm OK with that.
