Getting Started

Went out for a run tonight. Running late to attract less attention. Parkour draws all kinds of suspicion from folks. Especially if you chose a train station as your training environment. The police have come around twice, both times they asked to move on and both times I've had to explain that no property damage is being done. Now I leave at midnight and am usually back by ten to one. 

No privacy tonight though. There was trackwork and the workers took the time to puzzle over the big dude climbing around on the roof of the station. Jumps and climbing only tonight. No fence climbing, too dodgy looking. Tomorrow. Also gotta start taking sketches of the runs and the environments. 

This is it folks, how it all starts. I just handed in my paperwork for the grant. My university will start paying me as of the beginning of next year. Money to write, draw and do Parkour with other runners in Melbourne. I'll have to go talk to some other runners soon. Hope they don't mind me taking notes and sketches.
