SHRED SESSION: 20081012:
Rough times call for shred.
My head and heart are a real mess, and the only thing I have been able to do to distract myself is physical activity. So I strapped on some tunes to my head and went and kicked around the football again. I was trying different things. It's so neat, because the simplest things are so satisfying, like just keeping it off the ground, or alternating toe stalls. Here are some highlights from the football kicky:
-45 kicks (lots was alternating knees)
-7-ish alternating toe stalls?
-ATWout > ATWin
-4 headbutts
-7 headbutts (alternating between me and my brother)

Headbutts are totally the most satisfying and fun. It's neat. I played for, like, 2 hours straight in the rain without getting tired. That is really cool. I got a little bored kinda, but not really. Kicking stuff outside in the rain felt incredible. So I decided I would try my foot at hacky again. I played that for about another hour. Fun stuff. Nothing that great. I worked on downtime components, so tried little runs with "toe-set", "clipper-set", and PDX variations all in one run. I found eggbeaters are definitely the toughest. Even torques weren't that tough. Though I didn't really achieve that "drill" for most of the components. Drifters were friggin fun, and with no pain! I'm so throwing those more now! Pdx drifter feels so magnificent.

There are a couple of new videos posted in the main blog (and video section). I'm not sure if anyone knows to press the "+" to see the main blog. Plus I'm not sure if it would be better to post there, or to embed my own teeny little fooling around videos in my own blog... I think I'll try that next time. Well. I will post the latest one here too:
