At Boris'

Hey guys, sorry haven't posted here in a while, but I've been away and have been pretty busy since I got back. Busy sitting at Boris' house doing very little... Just been out in his garden tricking, got down some nice new stuff. At the 3rd ever Newcastle megajam tomorrow which should be good. So, what's hap penned since I last blogged...Well, the Dott jam, the performance side was a complete flop because of insurance problems. It did however turn out to be an amazing jam with a huge turnout. Here's a couple of pics...

So yer new moves included, round off too backfull's and much improvement on my side flips.

That night I began my journey to Florida. Only arrival at Newcastle airport we where given some bad new concerning my sisters passport, this would cause us to need a new passport for her before we could fly on to the US. So we flew to Heathrow and checked into our hotel there. This was Saturday night however and London's passport office is not open on Sundays so we had to stick around London on Saturday and go there on Monday. We managed to get a passport for her and got on a flight to Washington that evening, from there we then got our connecting flight on too Florida. The weather there wasn't great with hurricane Noal breathing down our necks and only on the last few days did it warm up. The park's however were amazing. Here's a few pics from my hols, more can be seen on my myspace.

So yer, seshed a bit since I got back. Had alot of work too do aswell, catch up mainly, but that's what you've got to live with.

Caoi for now

WAAAA

Ok, sorry it's been a while since i posted here. Had stuff happening. So yer, i flying off to Florida on Sunday for two weeks, it's guna be pritty mint like, except the catching up on a weeks worth of work bit when I get back. Got DOTT '07 festival performance tomorrow, well hopefully, had a headache call this after noon when I got called to be told that there was a problem with the insurance :| but hey, going along early to try to get it smoothed over, should be a good day either way. Went to DOTT awards on Wednesday with Pringle, was good, accademically interesting and a fair laugh. Got alot organised aswell. Was a good chance to put a good word in for NEPK with important people. Trainings been going pritty well, done lots of work on my sideflip and gainers,  got them both happy. Hitting some nice rail lines at the gym on Wednesday. Was doing CSLA course today learning how too teach, and lead sporting events, was really good, got alot out of it got a bit tricking done aswell in breaks etc. Had a really good sesh last weekend, made a vid. here it is....

Anyhoo, I'm going to go too bed, early morning, long day. Night Night.

Every step is 1 step closer to finishing...

I done it, finished the GreatNorthRun. And it has to be one of the best experiences of my life, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The feeling of achievement and accomplishment that you get at the end is overwhelming and for a moment or two, you forget about the exhaustion. My time was 1 hour 52 which I am very happy with at from a starting position of approx. 30,000 I was 7175th over the finish line. Will definitely be back next year too run it and I hope to have some more half marathons under my belt by then including the GreatCarlisleRun which is in a few weeks that I hope to run. My calves are burning, my knee's are killing, I've got a huge blister on my foot, but I've got my medal, and I'm smiling.

resting...

well, it's Friday, and I've spent the past 3 days, trying to rest myself, had lots of work to do so it hasn't been as hard as it could have been. I've been resting because I'm running the GreatNorthRun on Sunday. Really excited for it. Think I might go into town tomorrow, and force myself not to do parkour, go to pasta party etcetc instead.

And so it begins...

Well, it's Monday morning and currently, it's lashing it down with rain :( Only had one lesson today and it was first thing so went climbing at eldon leisure. Had a good session, and got up some new lines, and got up to level 6 of the campus board which i was well chuffed with, got some nasty blister's now though. Finally got myself some new trainers for Pk, as my pegasus' where well and truely dead, got some adidas supernova cushions, so can't wait to get out and train in them and see how they shape up. Got loads of work to do tonight which is a bit of a gutter, but might go out for a jog later if it stops throwing it down. 

Introduction

Hello, My names Lee Tinnion, I'm 16 and at Ponteland Community High school, in year 12 studying, maths, physics and media studies. I shall be using this blog to track my life, setting personal goals, and recording my successes and failures. It will mainly be based on my parkour and freerunning life as that is what I devote most of my time to but I will not restrict myself to much on what I talk about and I will cover whatever is concerning me at the time.
