I have always loved physical, aggressive activities - skateboarding, skiing, hiking, poker... In the last two years, my middle daughter has gotten me into parkour. I am far from even being called,"Good" - but I do enjoy it. About three weeks ago, I busted my knee trying to do a kong vault in the gym after a couple months away. I clipped my feet jumping over a 4 foot obstacle and was sent sprawling face first and full speed. Thankfully it was a gymnastic floor - not padded, but springy and more forgiving than concrete. Even so, it was a hard enough impact to cause immediate swelling and limited movement. Grrr. So, I have spent the last three week alternating compression and ice to reduce the swelling and give it time to heal. The swelling is gone, and I am back to around 3/4 movement. I hope to be back at it in another week...hopefully? Anyway, in the mean time, here are a few videos of my having fun. First, a couple monkey vault...
