Everyone was fairly excited, and it seemed like it was going to be a good session. Still had some minor muscle-pains from the session prior to this, and thought it may affect my performance overall, but it did on a minor level. Though it did stop me from achieving the same intensity of last session.
~Stretching (20-30mins)
~Messing around (Checked where we are at, especially Mark & Chris. Me & Aidan for the sake of seeing if we're still sore etc. About 1hr probably)
~4 sets of stairs(10-25 steps each) of backwards QM (At this point I noticed that I'm still sore at the back, below my armpits)
~1 lap of Cat Balance, perimeter of about 16-24meters (Noticed more effort on my legs, Aidan noticed more on his back)
~30+ Vaults/Rail (Tried some flow out, and minor other technicalities, explained some stuff to Mark and Chris)
~Small set of pushups (10) Plank (1-1.30mins)
After all that, we were going to try some presicions but ended up doing vaults and there I got injured.
Knee injury, hit the edge of the wall while I was running into a speedvault. Hurt like fuck. Gladly its just a bruise on the cap, unlike the other time, where iIbanged the side and hurt the joint.This was fairly less dangerous then the other time. Miscalculations of 1inch are fatal. Will be back on track soon, hopefully.

~Me/Aidan/PAIN O_O
~University
Finally, after a whole month of messing around and doing light stuff*, we have gone back on track.
Exhausted ourselves to death. (Fuck Yeah!)
~Stretching (20mins or so)
~Messing around, checking where the body is at, because it's been a while! (about 30-40mins, several vaults, wallclimbs, finally getting a feel of flow practise.)
~45 catleaps, 40 situps (10 c/t 10 s/u x3, 15 c/t 15 s/u)
~30 knee-to-chest jumps/30 landings/20 pushups (15 k/t/c 15 l 10 p/u x2)
~10 pullups/2 one armed pullups
~Several rolls, probably upto 20-30.
Definitly a worth it session, organised & intense, it's been a while and this session was the proof that we're still going to stay at it.
Tried some catbalances, but was too tired by then. Will definitly include in next session. Tone+Balance.
>Knees went a bit weak after the catleaps, and halfway through the k/t/c > l, minor discomfort started to be noticed. Must do more lower-body conditioning to protect knees (lunges etc.)
>Been doing alot of quadripedal running around at home.
>Split foot takeoff Kongs seem to be working pretty good, but I need to take a video so I see if i'm doing it 100% correctly.
>Need to keep at the roll, sometimes it's fine, sometimes I almost break my shoulder.. i'll try how Tyson Cecka does them. (Skipping the shoulder, and using right the muscle under it on the wing, my shoulder is too boney I think.)

~University
About 3-4 sessions of light parkour training (July), involving usual stretching of about 20-30mins, mostly light vaults, wall climbs, and a good number of rolls. (Helped to improve alot.) Did some lower-body conditioning, but it was proper minimum. (One-legged/Stairs, Lunges) Vaults & Cat Balances and other stuff on low-height obstacles. Helped alot for my technique.

~Me/Aidan
~University
Mark joined in for a bit, was of no disturbance. Had only about 1.30hrs at hand, short session but good.
~Stretching (about 15-20mins)
~50 Catleaps (different locations because of tearing of hands)
~40+ Precisions (need to check on the technique)
~Small sets of 5-10 pushups
>Hurt the ball of my foot again, I think it's a problem of cushioning.
>Knee feels weird, but it does not hurt or feel 'bad'.
>Found a place where to do the roll, just in time.
>Need to experiment to see if there is some other catleap technique I can do, but for now it's comfy.
>MUST REP ALOT OF PULLUPS! Getting on a wall from a catleap + moving to the sides, is plain hell for me currently.
>More quadrupedal inclusions.

~Me/Aidan/Benjamin

Unlike [13/06/08] I woke up quite energetic, and ate before --which made a great difference on the mental state I was in. Will keep to this pattern, as it is the most logical to have a good outcome.
The session was full of people, Aidan(redhead), Hannah & Gabby. With a newcomer, Benjamin, which seems keen to start, but wasn't in the position to train well on the day (had ninjitsu training after, and was dressed in jeans etc). Session started off slowly, with an immediate minor but discomfort creating injury from my part.
~Stretching (about 20-30mins, more organized, starting from neck and going down)
~50 Catleaps (random injury to the ball of my left foot, had to perform much of the landings in a weird way, slowed me down alot and ruined my mental state)
~Randoms (knee-to-chests+landings, precisions & wall climbs)
Session was a bit too easy-going, but the mental state is there. Will definitly have a better session next time, this time minimizing distractions if I get no injuries (I seem prone to them).
> Bruise on ball of left foot, inner-right on the outside. Hurt quite alot, happened to me before, definitly must have been a bad landing.
>Achilles tendon of right foot hurts, must be a muscle strain. Already healing slowly, had to use it more, because of left foot injury.
> Not sure but knee feels weird, but not uncomfortable in anyway, I'll have to check about it.

~Me/Aidan
~University
Woke up lazy minded, which was evident throughout the whole session. Very unorganised in comparsion to [10/06/08], feeling lack of motivation from my side (most probably because tidyness/organisation is lacking often).
Muscle sores from previous session were still present, but on a very low scale, did affect the whole thing on a very mininal scale, but did not create any discomfort.
~Stretching (about 20mins)
~Warmup: 1x Jog Around University. (30secs walk about half way through it, slowly gaining more endurance/cardio. Need to teach myself again breathing methods for running)
~Rested + Jogged to spot mentioned below. (5mins, increasing stamina slowly.)
~About 40 Vaults + landings. (Varied techniques, only about 3 landings felt uncomfortable.)
~ Over 50 precisions (Performed throughout the whole session, found a track with 4" to 5" gaps for balance/precision training.)
~Over 20 dips, 20 pushups (varied), 2 reps of upside-down wall things, 15 hanging push-ups, small set of about 10 sit ups.
Learned how to do an effective tic-tac > catleap> wall climb. (Need to build more upper-body strenght.) Wall was a bit too high for my current strenght, so was very hard to overcome.
Maybe should start planning sessions before we actually go out, and then modify depending on weather and mental situation on the day. I'll think about something soon.
> Toe-landings are near to perfection. Felt only discomfort for, maybe, just 4 landings. Should start pracisting roll seriously soon.
> Need to regain confidence between my mind and body(synch), wasn't sure about my body's ability even after I did perform jumps perfectly.
> Most probably I'll start going for sessions alone to practise more mentally inclined exercises, like technique for vaults, precisions, balance and rolls.

[12/06/08]
~Me/Randoms/Oldschool buddies
~University 5-a-side grounds.
5-a-side football match between buddies, thought it would be good training to add up on my endurance/cardio. (Must have gone on for about an hour and a half)
Light game, started feeling lack of breath immediately, but I thought it was normal --as we did no warm-up or stretching. After the starting minutes mentioned above, I did not feel any discomfort or heavy breathing, may have been because I was playing in a quite relaxed manner, considering fatigue and muscle sores (qtuh ta' laham) from [10/06/08] training.
Obviously, sprinted, jogged & walked throughout the whole game.
Should work well for my performance, rounding up the efforts of the week with more cardio/endurance exercises.
~Muscle sores relieved alot, must be because of the warm blood flow during the match.
~No discomfort in right knee after injury.
~No dicomfort in right shin bone/muscle after [10/06/08].
Will try to still lessen impact on it as I randomly feel very very thin little weird pains, although hardly noticble. (Developing a higher sensitivity of body through exercise? Good.)
