yesterday
L-sit training
thought i give the tuck sit another try.  made it much farther up.  tried extending my legs, while aiming down.  it worked, sort of, and now i'm working on tilting up to parallel.  probably should work on some hamstring stretches too
pull-ups - 0
forgot them.  very sad

today
5km run - (16-8min-22) 29min (28-10min-22)
wanted to do 10km again, but i decided to wait until i finished the first 5km before deciding.  good idea, since the fod i had an hour earlier started bothering me just as i finished the first 5km.  ah well, next time i won't stuff myself before running
pull-ups - 1
sit-ups (10) - 2 so far
realized my hands were on my head, so i took a step back and put them at my sides.  made a big difference.  now i feel like i'm getting more out of the exercise mentally
push-ups - ?
something doesn't feel right, so i'm going back to the basics.  i feel like the basic push-up gave me a better foundation to step off of into all the other types.  they may not have been much for strength, but they definitely warmed my upper body up.  my one arm push ups have been suffering from the lack of warming up the day before
i'm not going to stop with the pseudo planche push-ups or the one arm push ups.  i'll just do a little less of them.  also resuming my handstand and frog stand training.  all of which will be focusing on feeling my abdominal use in the exercise rather than just the arms

gonna start going all out with parkour and practice a little bit of everything every day.  i've been slacking.  focusing on improving one aspect and not training at all whenever i felt that i couldn't do much in that aspect that day.  already brainstorming different things i can jump to whenever i feel fatigued in one movement type.  i'm not gonna just quit next time

yesterday
sit-ups (10) - 5
push-ups (15) - 5

today
1 mile walk - barefoot - roadside gravel - 20min
everything was cool except the dog that attacked me.  my feet were really softened up at the end, but i made it
L-sit floor test - fail
tuck sit floor test - fail
tuck planche test - fail
just wanted to get into the habit of gauging my progress
squats (52) - 5
gonna bump it up to 78 next time.  want to make it back up to 104.  hope it helps my running, though i'm mainly focused on getting to the one leg squat
one arm push-up negatives - 10
right arm collapsed on the last two

parkour training
precisions (8ft) - 5
there is a walking path made of 1.5ft square flat stones spaced about a foot apart.  i was just jumping from one to the other and back again and counting that as 1 rep.  feels weird and i know my form is off because of the discomfort that was building in my knees
box jump on stairs
two feet - (3rd step) 5, (4th step) 5
one foot - (3rd step) 5
each step is 7 in high and 9 in long.  should have warmed up better.  i could feel it in my knees on the one foot jumps
lazy vault (3ft) - 5
kong vault (2ft picnic table) - 9
taking an idea from a tutorial.  practicing jumping onto a picnic table and aiming to go beyond my hands.  can't get beyond them yet.  on my 10th try, i clipped my shins (not my feet, lame).  bloody mess that nearly ended my day
driveway qm - 100ft
ashamed to say that this was my first time qm'ing in months.  got the idea that next time i should continue even when tired, by pausing to rest while holding the form.  gonna fight my fatigue to the end of the driveway tomorrow (>300ft)

yesterday
hindu squats (5) - 5
squatting on my toes to build balance, coordination and familiarity with knee stress.  from reading, i understand that they place additional stress on the knees and that that stress isn't necessarily a bad thing.  in the right amounts, that stress can strengthen the tissues of the knee.  just need to monitor the feelings in my knees and avoid sharp pain or discomfort that doesn't fade.  don't push it, rest when i need it and be prepared to give it up if it becomes damaging.

today
push-ups (16) - 5, (17) - 5
pull-ups - forgotten
abdominal exercise - pending
don't like sit-ups.  so i'll be building up to the l-sit/tuck sit through table edge and make shift captains chair exercises
hindu squats (5) - 2
had some minor discomfort in my knees yesterday, don't feel it at all today

after numerous injuries, i have returned with a new plan that is just a better version of the old plan

5km walk - (15) 51min (19)
once i learned to wave to every car that passed me, people stopped dehumanizing me and stopped trying to run me over

qm - (4x)(10) (2) 7/125 (3)
(4x) = 1 count every 4 steps, (10) = 1 count every 10 counts, (2) = max number of counts in one go today, 7/125 = 7 counts taken today out of my ultimate goal of 125, (3) = best count in one go ever
i'm back to focusing on long distance qm.  125x10x4 = 5000 steps, which is about a mile, probably less.  my short term goal is to make it to 25 every day and try to push/meet my one set max every other day.  new ultimate goal is to one day have the strength to run.  that would be amazing!

qm and running/walking are now my core daily exercises.  one limb push-ups, squats and calf-raises are secondary goals along with the L-sit.  thats what i got so far

yesterday
10km run - (12-10min-20) 30min+32min (29-10min-21)
30min for the first 5km and 32 for the second.  right knee started to feel weird about 5min before the end.  i think i'm pushing myself too hard, too soon

since i just started pushing myself into qm, i'll do it every other day for two weeks before i try it daily

today
5km walk - (15) 50min (19)
nice leisurely walk to test the damage i inflicted on myself yesterday.  i feel great
qm - (4x)(10) (2) 12/125 (3)
my elbow still feels weird.  my need to rest for a few days and see if it goes away.  until then, i've decided to push for every set to be a 2 by the end of july.  today i'm doing a 2 after every 4 1's.  i can handle it so far.  only problem is the incredible amount of oxygen that i need to sustain myself
