Running Free

It's times like this last week when I wish that somehow my day could
elongate by another 3 hours - time enough to get everything done and
still get 8 hours sleep! The end is in sight though with a 4 day week
until easter, I'm going on a surf camp in taranaki… my treat after all
this madness.

My friend emailed me this morning about this developing movement
called "Parkour" or Free Running, I did a little googling to find out
that this is a sport which turns running into an extreme sport - full
of jumping, balancing, rolling, climbing, spinning and anything else
that works, it gets you from A to B across a city leaping buildings,
jumping fences, vaulting walls and running walls.

Parkour is: An art to help you pass any obstacle to get from point
A to point B using only the human body. It was developed by soldiers
in Vietnam as a method of escape or to reach an objective, so you use
what is most useful, as in an emergency situation.

Look at some of the drills and moves on urbanfreeflow.com

I'm thinking of taking it up, coul be handy for getting around the
city during rush hour
