Not much of an update, but...
...two nights ago, I learned the butterfly stroke. I'm completely inefficient and look absolutely like I'm drowning while I do it, but at least I learned it. Sucks, though, that I finally have my freestyle down to something that at least resembles elegance when I get hit with this. :D
parkour a bust--too many people "interested," and not enough experienced practitioners to act as instructors, and not enough follow-through by anyone to provide a learning environment.
...anyway, muay thai next week. It's the place that I wanted to go to many, many months ago, but tried to find something closer. It's sad, but most of the places nearer to me disgust me--they're not really schools, but businesses intent on getting your money from buying equipment from them, from getting rank belts from them (huh?! in muay thai?!), from getting tested by them. Ugh. Enough.
Anyway, I'm sure my first class is going to hurt, despite the running and swimming I've been doing. I just hope I can still crawl to the subway afterward. :D
