wow..ive been horrible about updating this =S anyways:
10/24/09 Saturday: Aiki 9-10: felt like my wrists were just gonna fall right off, pretty good workout, did biometric push-ups, hoping to find out more about biometrics, i know it's been mentioned on here a lot but never quite understood it, i understand it a lot better now =) Karate10-11: the usual, warm-ups, stretching, blah blah blah 30 minutes of handstand work
10/25/09 Sunday: ran/jogged/walked for about 15 minutes, did a lot more running/jogging than the other day, same route.
15 mintues later: also did about an hour of precisions, vaults, handstands, balancing, and wall runs...didn't do it all at once, extended throughout about 3 hours, was hanging out with ym friend, that's why it's so widespread
10/26/09 Monday: Karate 6-7: first 20 minutes did stretching and warm-u[ (100 jumping jacks, 20push-ups and 25 sit-ups then stretching), last 40 minutes did kata work, may not look like a good workout,but it is..anyways for anyone who doesn't know, kata is just an already organized set of combinations/moves put together in a logical order...well..thats the best way I can think of describing it =) Gym class: ran a little, combined did probably about 10 minutes..incredibly easy
10/27/09 Tuesday: Sick, stayed home from school, didn't do any working out
10/28/09 Wednesday: Karate 6-7: warm-ups (50 jumping jakcs, 30 sit-ups, 10 pushups, strectching) then simple wazas, self-defense, and combinations for the rest of the class...first 30 minutes of class I was being active, last 30 I wasn't since I was teaching and mainly just correcting people Aiki 7-8:30: typical aiki class...started with rolling/falls then worked throws, I was ssooo tired I was ready 2 just curl up on the mats and sleep..core muscles killed
10/29/09 Thursday: Rest Day, mainly just really busy

Have you thought about starting pull-ups yet? They (as far as I know) mainly work your upper-back muscles, and as such are very important in parkour for climb-ups and stuff like that. Also, I noticed you mentioned working on precisions, vaults, etc... but I didn't see anything about rolls and proper landing technique. Do you already know how to roll from another discipline? If not, learning how to roll is essential and you should probably start before you work on stuff like precisions.

yes, i ahev thought about trying some pull-ups, i was thinking of next time I go out running trying at least one lol and yes, i already know how to roll, thanks to aiki,but in aiki we practice rolling/falling on mats, but the last time i was out training i actually did about 5 rolls on cement just from standing and I was very comfortable with them, and didn;t hurt myself, which is always a good thing 10/30/09: FridayNothing again, I know, i really need to start doing more stuff

It's great that you can do rolls on concrete without hurting! That's usually a big obstacle for traceurs to overcome, you're ahead of the game

10/31/09 HALLOWEEN!! Saturday: walked about a mile trick or treatng with my friend lol =)
11/1/09 Sunday: Threw in 15 sit-ups and10 push-ups just for the sake of not having to say 'nothing' again and feel like I accomplished a little =)
11/2/09 Monday: 6-7: karate: good workout, didn't teah =) wazas, then self-defense, worked up a very good sweat, the sensei that freally works s for our worth taught so it was very nice
oh yea, by the way if anybody can think of any really good lower abdominal workouts and post them it would be much apprecoted. I've found some good overall abdominal ones but I really wanna focus on LOWER abs thanks =)

11/3/09 Tuesday:
Gym class: combined probably about 10-15 minutes of running
Ran back from my old elementary school, i'm not totally sure on how far of a distance it is but im 100% sure it's a minimum of a half a mile, took me about 5 minutes, normally takes me 8, i also had better control of my breathing and I wasn't so tired so I'm seeing that as very good =)
4:30-5:30 Karate: 1st 20 mintues I taught, for about 10 of that I was actually working out, then for the next 10 i was just correcting people, then for the last 40 moinutes I did weapons defense with 3 other guys, extremely tiring, if this helps to give you an idea 2 of the guys were about 6 foot 1 and the other is a few inches taller than me, but is a black belt, and they were pretty much just trying to kill me...by the end I could barely stand I feel pretty accomplished for today
11/4/09 Wednesday: 6-7 Karate: warm-ups/stretching, simple wazas, then karate, eh o.k workout
7-8:30 Aiki: more brutal than usual, pretty sore right now, I worked with a black belt about six inches taller than me, really had to work to get him down, and he was chucking me into the ground haha =) very fun and also painful

11/5/09 Thursday: didn't go to school, was sick, no working out
11/6/09 Friday: had gym class: for the 1st 20 minutes we played a game of frog tag (basically tag but when you are caught you have to lay down and in order to be back in you have to be carried back to a specific spot on the gym floor) didn't get caught once =) and we did a jump rope activity for the last 20 minutes of class
11/7/09 Saturday: 9-10 Aiki: did very light and easy movements today, didn't take too much effort 10-11 Karate: Warm-ups/stretching, then just simple technique review and combinations for the rest of class.
11/8/09 Sunday: nothing..felt like crap
11/9/09 Monday: 6-7 karate: very very hard class, we went inbetween doign 3 minutes of bag work to about 3 minutes of kata, back and forth without stopping for about 20 minutes of the class, then we did self-defense with partners. very very tiring, but so very nice.
11/10/09: Tuesday: nothing, still sick, didn't go to school..sinus infections r horrible.
i have been feeling so bad (physically) lately, on a super strong antibiotic for a sinus infection, I can feel it starting to help me feel better slowly, i'll hopefully get back into the workout routine soon. I noticed ive been 'training' for just over a month now, and don't really feel i've gotten as much accomplished as I thought I would have at this point when i first started keeping this log. Have a lot going on in life, that may be contributing to it, but I really really feel that I will be able to start regularly training and conditioning soon in hopes of getting a lot more done.

11/11/09 Wednesday: I went running, I did the usual short route, took about 4 mintues, i jogged for about 3.5 mintues of that the only .5 of a min i didn't was cuz I needed to put up my hair haha After that I I this one walk that is about 3.6 miles long, that took me 26 minutes, yes, i know a very very very bad time, I was just startying to take an antibiotic for a sinus infection, and didn't do my inhaler so I was walking about 75% of the time. Next time I do that same run my goal is to cut down the time by at least 3 mintues. 6-7 Karate: did a warm-up that was more like a work-out lol then for the rest of the class we worked good sparring combinations, sadly we didn't spar though =( 7-8:30 Aiki: light movements, not too bad, my wrists were extremely sore thought since we were doing mostly wrist locks
11/12/09 Thursday: Gym: 30 minutes of 2 variations of tag, didn't get out at all, was full speed running (small gym+fast runners=good workout), last 10 minutes we did more jump rope stuff
11/13/09 Friday: 8-10 ICE SKATING!!: one of the best things about living in New York, it was vveerrryyyyy fun!! I only took a 10 minute break, I wanna go like everyday haha =) love it
11/14/09 Saturday: [color=]9-11: Aiki, very easy stuff, wasz basically warm up for the grappling clinic[/color] 11-1:Grappling Clinic: This was also insane amounts of fun, I loved it and I loearned a lot about grappling, I htink i might do more stuff with wrestling and stuff liek that in the future =) I was also complimented by the person leading the clinic, he said that I was one hell of a martial artist ad he was very impressed with what I could do expecially for a 13 year old =) Very good day =)

11/15/09 Sunday:I was actually gonna go training and conditioning but there were people at the playgrounds I was planning 2 go 2, so I ended up jsut walking aroudn for about 45 minutes...i also figured out that I REALLY REALLY need to work on upperbody strengthening. 11/16/09 Monday: 6-7: karate: I led warm-ups so I didn't really do too much then, mainly just corrected people, led stretching, and came up with wazas to do. After that for about 45 mintues we did review of the grappling, was working on people smaller than me, so it wasn't really all too hard,barely broke a sweat =)
