In my dreams

I can move like this. I dreamt of gymnastics virtually every night for the 8 years I competed, working out new moves, perfecting old ones and just imagining the freedom of perfect movement. These guys can do this in real time. More than amazing. Now I dream of just running again but watching this stuff always pumps me up.

I love this movie :))

Movement is beautiful and when done right looks effortless.

back when I was a gymnast we did a lot of crazy stuff and when I was a distance runner I spent a lot of time careeing down the side of arroyo's and hills barely touching the sides of the mountains. that's what gave me the idea of this stuff although I had never seen it done.

wish i had been exposed to it when I could still run :))

 Thought about going back to 5x5 for a hot second then my left shoulder  reminded me why I stopped doing them before. It doesn't seem to...
