(sunshine)Sunday. Sun day. Sunny day.
I met up with Jayden, Joe (in the background), Gaz, Ishta, John, Blane and Steve (elsewhere for this shot) for a thorough working over of the Brockley/Nunhead hotspots. We warmed up at the playground and were soon sizing up some running precisions. I was able to make the first with no trouble, however the next one gave me the heebyjeebies. I knew I could make the distance but couldn't commit to the leap. Even some encouraging words from Blane couldn't silence the "stop!" signal going off in my head. I'll be revisiting this jump until I stick it with confidence...
We traveled from spot to spot, eventually settling in at the major Brockley hotspot. The eight of us shared a great energy, trying new things and feeding off each others' creativity. I really focused on flow, keeping my strides even and confident. This culminated in the highlight of my day which found me striding across the courtyard and gardens from wall to wall to wall to rail precision, then spin 180 degrees on the rail, back the way I came, swing around the tree and straight back into the circuit... I made 3 laps of the circuit before the rail gave way and I ended up on my back, lamenting the loss of such a sweet route... Oh well...
After a solid 3 hours of training we had a break in the sun (see pic), eating icecream and bananas and apple cake and watching as Joe and Jayden worked tirelessly at an awkward running precision... We trained a little longer and went our separate ways, Blane and I following John back to his place for an awesome Sunday roast. Big love to John and Steph and Cyril for cooking.
My cold has cleared up a bit (still found myself sniffling mid-flight in a cat-pass to arm-jump - multitasking eh?) but I can definitely feel my strength and health returning. Especially with all this sunshine about...
