Back
on the 10th
May I set myself another reading and exercise challenge, this time to
gain more flexibility than I've ever had in my thirties.
I've blogged a number of times about combining reading with
attempting the splits: this time it was to beat my standing personal
best of 1 metre 63 (5'4).
I've
done a little here and there- sometimes huge chunks, sometimes little
bits frequently- sometimes, admittedly, skipping a few days. I'd find
I'd get close- either on the personal best or just below it- then
miss a day, then when I'd come back I'd have lost loads of
flexibility. The trick is to dedicate yourself.
I've
done this as best as I can, and I hit 1 metre 65 (5'5) on 1st
July.
I'm
currently half way into the book. It's very heavy and technical, and
more with a leaning to science like in the Dreaming Void, the first
of the trilogy. The second book got a bit-too fantasy-based, and was
a hard slog. The story I'm actually finding harder to follow as
summer has presented a lot of opportunities for me and I'm not
dedicating as much time to it as I used to. I'm still trying, though,
to read a little every day. I'll upload a full review when it's
finished. Aiming for the first week of September.
Like
anything else, keep practising and you'll see progress.
