Else what's a heaven for?

Last night, I went to aerial workout for the first time in three weeks, due to snow and stupidity. I felt strong going in and my form felt better than last workout, but I discovered I'd lost more endurance. I worked on dive betweens to double foot wrap inversion; opposite side dives (both sides, hadn't done them in months); and the crooked split sequence. I don't have the last again - couldn't unhook it for some reason and I need to watch more closely when Y- does hers. She apparently has gone on a raw food diet for the past two weeks and she looks good: I can't tell what it is, but she looks less pinched than she used to. And hella stronger.

Also noticed that I'm happy to work on the same old stuff, as conditioning; I'd love to be able to do cool tricks on the trap, but I've burned out the part of me that is willing to learn new death-defying feats. And by death-defying feats, I mean stuff like those rolls on the bar.

I had some revelations regarding exercise last time I was in DC. ( why I should give up on parkour, running, triathlons, aquathlons )

Nala suggested martial arts classes, claiming it's easier for short stocky people, but I don't think there's enough strength stuff to keep me happy. My prior experiences with martial arts classes also didn't teach in a way that I grokked it, so I might as well have not wasted the time & money. I can't even do a fargin' forward roll, for goodness sake!

so yeah, y'know how I said above I should quit running bc I'll never be any good at it? I signed up for the lottery for the NYC marathon. I figure the $11 fee is cheaper than the charity (you have to raise $3K) or even the 9 races and while I'm not sure if I'll want to run it this year, I might in 2012, so if I can get rejected 3 years in a row...

Speaking of charity runs, I think I'd have to raise $3900 to run the Napa to Sonoma Half. Crohn's disease research is an excellent cause, but I'm not committing to that in a recession. sorry Godkitty.

But now to the point of this post (and the reason why it's not locked for the comfort of dedmaus et al.) Anyone know of anything cool happening in DC on Sat, Mar 28? Somehow it's easier for me to go to Primal Fitness for the Beast Skills seminar than to go 2 hours outside NYC. heh. It's Mar 29 and it's how to do old skool bodyweight strength exercises. YEEHAW! Anywho, despite the stuff under the cut, I'll probably go to parkour on Sat morning, so I'll be in DC and potentially available.
