Recently, I've discovered an interesting trend with how I progress in parkour.

We're hoping to do a big biking trip in Japan in a year, so we're building up for that, which would have us doing 60 miles a day.
I really miss hanging out with you guys, and hope to get back into a regular running regime - and eventually parkour - again after I graduate in a year. I hope we can keep in touch.
