We are failure…

I haven't posted anything in ages.

Fail. No excuse.

Though, the fact that I couldn't think of anything interesting to post here about says much about my life right now. I haven't gotten any work done on any of my current writing projects, I haven't baked anything since last week, I haven't really improved on my parkour training… Wait!

Yes. There. I has subject—training.

(clears throat) Not long ego, I sustained some sort of injury to my wrist—a minor sprain, I think—whilst doing diving cartwheels. This has provided yet another obstacle to overcome. It hurts whenever I put weight on it, which means that hand is pretty much out of commission when it comes to vaults. Also, I made the injury worse by continuing to practice. Now it gives out when I try quadrupedal movement as well.

Unfortunately, it impedes sword training even more than it does the parkour. Whereas in parkour I can still do one handed moves, such as safety vaults and speed vaults, the only longsword practice I can do effectively is footwork.

So, for the foreseeable future, I'll be doing a lot of running and footwork. In a way, this is good. I need vast improvement in those areas. I guess the injury, then, might be looked upon as a blessing in disguise? That's how I'm looking at it anyway. Sings: always looking on the bright side of life!
