Today was a pretty killer day. I hadn’t been out for awhile to train so when I went out today I was a bit hesitant about jumping back in right away. It didn’t take me long to realize though that my physical abilities were all still the same, it was just my mind holding me back.
So for the rest of the day I mainly limited my practice to railing precisions, balance, and max distance precision jumps from standing. The three things that my mind tried to stop me from doing. I went to UW, Gasworks, and a playground in Fremont. It took almost the whole day but I feel great, my railing precisions are getting better and better and I’m up to eight of my own feet. My balance is fine walking on a rail forwards and backwards, fairly good at turning around, and pretty solid at standing sideways. My standing jump is a bit farther than ten of my own feet, and my landings are so much more controlled and relaxed now. I used to injure my ankles very easily for precision jumps because I would tense them up too much.
All and all a very worthwhile day! My legs will definitely be feeling it tomorrow.

Wow, 10 feet? Did you have a good precision before or is that all from practising parkour?
Well 10 of my own feet, I don’t know how many real feet. I had ok hops before parkour but I have definitely improved a lot.
