Day 3/100 – 30 minutes on a rail

This entry is part 4 of 104 in the series 100 Days of Training (2017)

Fell off many times, but remembering Stephane’s advice each time: “Go easy on yourself and simply get back on.” Exhaustion, anger, shaking, soaked in sweat, eternity. #artdudeplacement

Au revoir France

Insane line for ticketing at CDG… but got bumped up to business. C’est la vie? Merci #icelandair

Skull

Learned a new card game as the sun set! La vie en rose… :D …but excited to start my journey home tomorrow morning!

Memento Mori

At the Picasso Museum today– a photograph of Picasso “contemplating death”… some days I push myself physically, some days mentally.

Square Jean-XXIII

View from the square/garden behind Notre Dame.

Etre forte

A relaxing morning at the Rodin museum and sculpture garden. Je pense…

An historic selfie

Williams and Stephan taking a selfie atop La Dame. There was a lot of historic discussion this week, and I think this photo sums up a lot.

Thank you Stany

We are all in Lisse today at the park in front of the Dame du Lac.

Three hours

If you’ve trained with the Yamak, you know. If you have not, you can not understand. Went to the limit- til my mind wanted to quit- and was then inspired by my friends! We start together: we finish together!

The hardest part

What is THE hardest part of parkour/art du déplacement? Knowing when to stop. Once you learn how to push yourself, it becomes very hard to admit that you must rest _now_, when your friends are still training. I am not injured, but if I continue today- if I continue now- I will break. So… mental strength now, so I can continue (forever. The morning I do not awake, is the day I quit!)
