Check out Top Tips for becoming a Parkour Girl -I'm sure it can be of help to guys too. rainbow_boa might be able to give you some pointers. This is a admirable list, I think you can definitely accomplish it. Good luck, just make sure Hubski gets a few minutes of those 2 hours. What's the first book?
I read the article. It was one of those things that made me want to do parkour. I'll make sure to reread it. Hubski is and will be getting most of the time I spend on the internet for recreational use :P The book I will probably be reading will be from the Wheel of Time series or maybe Jules Verne's "A journey to the center of the earth". That, or I'll be rereading Dune. It is not that I dislike reading. On the contrary, I really like reading, but I just don't seem to get to it...
How you doing with the chin-ups and the parkour?
Currently I'm having finals, so all my physical training is laying low. Next week I'm getting back to really training. I almost did one chin-up last week, but I couldn't complete it unfortunately. The parkour is yet to get started (I didn't get it to fit in with learning for my finals). Training starts next week Thursday. Thanks for asking. :-) How are your resolutions coming?
good luck! Mine are not going well at all. I've actually gotten worse with my running instead of better. I could blame the weather or work but the truth is I've not made the time. I signed up for a 10 mile race in March which essentially gives me all of Feb to train. I've not been good about food either. I will change that immediately. Once I'm running a lot, it's hard to eat bad food. -I feel more guilty. I've been a better husband but it's funny how running and diet even impact that. Thanks for asking.
Small things have a bigger impact than you would expect. For example, start drinking water instead of soda and you will feel a lot better after a while. Minor change, big effect. I really admire your new years resolution to be a better dad. Keep it up and be the most awesome dad you can be. Your little one will love you for it :-)
Thanks, I don't drink any soda though. My big problem is food. I tend to grab a quick bite to eat too often which means slices of pizza, burgers et cetera. I need to get back into a healthier diet. But that doesn't include quitting soda, because I really never drink it. -horrible stuff IMO. Beer though.... I was reivigorated by this video to begin a more strident running regiment.
Ah, junk food. It's just too damn tasty (and available everywhere around here). Beer is a social drink for me, so I don't drink it too often, even though I live in the Netherlands :P I loved the video. Also, TNGpodcast is on my follow list :P Good luck with the diet and the running.
Thanks! Would you ever be interested in participating in a podcast? You've been on Hubski a while, it'd be nice to have you on board.
Sure, I would love to help. Just give me a holler.
