Parkour Is Not For Us Old Folks

On a more serious note, I’m thrilled with the confidence she’s building, and the fact that a mild injury no longer evokes tears and agony – she’s now decided to be tough around the “big boys,” as she’s usually the only girl in the class!
Never heard of Parkour? Also known as Free Running – was featured in opening scene of Casino Royale. Here’s a cool video from Julie Angel of Parkour Generations.
While I do love watching the Parkour class and even envision myself flying over those barriers sometimes, I’ve concluded that - since I’m flirting with forty – that snowboarding should remain my one “crazy mom” activity.
