Auuuggghh my legs!!!

I did a heavy workout yesterday for the first time in around six months and my legs and shoulders are aching and my lower back is stiff. I'm moving around campus like my body is made out of wood. Along with the stiffness and pain comes a feeling of invigoration. I feel like an old toy car that has been wound up and is ready to take off across the kitchen floor to hit mom in the foot. I worked out at the fitness center on York College campus grounds which was adequate much to my delight. In addition I noticed some great places on campus grounds to practice parkour. If you see me doing my parkour please don't be alarmed. I am not up to any mischief or anything like that. Trust me.

    Parkour, something I always wanted to try but was always to much of a sissy to actually do it. Firstly major props on having the guts to try Parkour and stick with it at that. I honestly think I would probally give up after the first injury; I guess I'm not as persistent as others. In my opinion Parkour should be way more popular than what it is today, In fact it should be considered an extreme sport; I am sure that day will come soon though. Keep up the good work.

      Thanks friend! Research has shown me a completely different side of parkour. I used to think of it as an extreme sport also. Now I realize that it is a way of advancing natural movement. A way to balance our sedentary, industrialized lives with our primal beginnings.

    I am kind of scared for you and whoever else is doing this parkour craziness. It sounds dangerous, it looks dangerous, and by the physical state you described yourself in, in the previous post, I am sure it is. I guess it is the thrill that keeps you doing this sort of sport, right? Is there any possible way to do it and not get hurt? Haha. Can you practice parkour with safety equipment, like knee pads, helmets, elbow pads, etc.? Only then would I be the least interested in trying this thriller. Good luck doing this. I hope you do not get hurt any further.

      I appreciate the concern ^_^ The thrill is therapeutic I must say. To look back on a training session, an accomplished jump, or landing safely from a big drop makes me feel like anything is possible. I crave more. I guess the safety precautions would defeat the whole purpose of that feeling of accomplishment. It's far from an adrenaline rush but more like the feeling of getting an A in a class that was really difficult
