HELL YES I am so excited about this weekend.
We’ve planned a little Parkour adventure, and some filming of stuff for our reels. We’re all coming up with little things that we would love to put in our reels.
Mine? I’m busting out of the boot of a car, and jumping out, hitting the ground and rolling out of it. I’ll be padded up to the max, but it’ll still look shit cool and my reel will finally start looking half decent!
Natalie has some pretty cool ideas for stunts too - jumping off the roof of a car while it’s moving is one of hers, they all sound so awesome, it’s gonna be great!
So last night at Stunting we practised getting the motion of jumping out of the back of a car. I sat on a red block and Dave and Pete pulled it along, and I jumped off it and practised my landing. At first Em and Nat ran behind me with a crash mat, but by the end of it I was doing it onto the normal floor and it felt pretty good. Not too sore this morning (the soreness is more from the Jillian Michaels work out on Sunday!) so I think it will go pretty well. We’ll probably be doing it on grass, even though it’d look better on a road. When I get out of the car, the driver realises i’ve ‘escaped’ and does a 180 handbrake turn, and starts to chase me. Sounds Grindhousey, and I haven’t even SEEN Grindhouse yet! ([censored]ing Australia!) Hm, yes, so it’s going to be brilliant and I can’t wait! *hophop*
Not going to tell the parents - I’ll just send them footage. 
TKD was great, Mr Cleaver gave us a fantastic little drill to help us improve our turning kicks (roundhouse kicks) - and it’s helped a lot already. Going to keep working on it, and perfecting it.
Mr Cleaver also told me that my pattern was of a very high standard, much higher than that of a High Yellow belt - so Penstarr FTW!
Did a Jillian workout on Sunday and now my thighs hate me. But I hate them too, so it’s no big deal
That’s all, can’t wait for the weekend! Might not be at training on Wednesday, since I have to get a needle and it might make me nauseous apparently, so we’ll see what happens.
