Parkour Dream

I had a Parkour dream last night, but I wasn't doing high roof gaps, or massive kongs or silly amounts of backflips. It was just training. Press up going up steps and back down, shimmying along a rail without touching the floor. It was really good, it's inspired me that my dreams now invole the training aspect which I have only just recently grasped, and that I am dreaming of being a better athlete because of it, rather than dreaming of doing high risk Parkour.

Well, I'm going out to Oundle, to put the training into Practice :)
