At the parkour meet tonight I vaulted a fence and came down on a sprinkler head.  Imagine jumping and landing all your weight on the side of your ankle.  Bobo said it looked like my shoe came off.  I went down hard, didn’t cry, am furious with myself. 

Sure it’s just bad luck BUT I had a rule: I wasn’t attending any more Wednesday meets until I could actually keep up because Wednesdays are when the big boys come out.  But I broke my own rule and now am completely immobile.october 1 2008

I found owner Jack of Eurospeed online at this car forum and he was great.  I mean, my car-ignorance is pretty apparent and it’d be easy to take advantage of that, but he didn’t.  

But wait, how do you know that Keri?  Well technically I don’t, it’s just a gut feeling.  Oh and I have two headlights again, too.september 24 2008

september 18 2008

Last night there was a set of stairs, maybe 7 of them.  So I’m running my guts out when all of a sudden there are the stairs so I leap and I SWEAR time stops when I realize my right foot is twisted up in the left leg of my jogging pants.  

All in slow-motion, I untwist and release my foot just in time for me to hit the ground with both feet flat, I pitch forward while jackknifed and a giant “aaarrrrrgggghhhhhh” comes out of me and scares the cab drivers standing there, to which I then wave “hi hi!” and keep going.

So two things:

1 – it is SO sick I can slow down time doing this stuff, and; 
2 – time to invest in a proper pair of pants.  No way will I get that lucky again, next time I’ll kneecap myself. 

So I got a pair that are tight around my shins and have a little pocket for my key so I no longer have to hide it in the bushes outside my place.

…regarding my new exercise regime.  I’ve been making it out for a run almost every night for 6 weeks and for rea enjoying it.

I run around the financial district for two reasons:

1 – I find it motivating, and; 
2 – there’s lots of stuff to climb up and jump off of  

Plus I get a kick out of seeing the streets get scrubbed because they actually do that around there, like with a mop and everything.  

Did you know 100 000 people come into and leave the area every weekday?  Ya woah, I know.september 15 2008
