This is going to be a righteous day in general. Going to this new Loft party, which is exactly what I've wanted in this city. So for practice today I see how I feel. If I can fly then I'll try the plan for last time. If I can't then I'll try to do a chill practice focusing on varied step and inversion and work on introducing freezes (roll backs, from shoulder bump, footwork).
Or I can over sleep and not make an attempt to go to practice. Not so righteous today. Yeah, I feel like shit today.
Wednesday
Pretty much the same focus as yesterday. I might shorten the warm up a bit since I danced so much last night and start into the all the flips I have. The key being present during the air time in the flips I have so it might be easier to be present doing the thread. Then I'll take a rest and run some gainer thread attempts.
Wow, none of this happened. I was struggling to get out of bed and go to practice at all. Definitely been working hard so I guess I underestimated my fatigue. I was able to run some short power and decent footwork. Even did some flips, but my legs are pretty tired so I wasn't getting the kind of air I needed. Highlights: corkscrew > coin drop > headspin drill x5, swipe > halo > so instead of a freeze my body hung halfway and my elbow was buckling in and out and then I fell. It felt weird, but no ill effects. Dunno what's in store for tomorrow.

Tuesday
The UC for a week! So much to do! I think I'm going to split this time (hour for new moves, hour to train aerobically)
1. thread gainer (first half)
2. shoulder halo
3. airflares
4. keep moving (second half)
Then Stealth was talkin about this funk night with Selecta at Ava. Selecta played a lot of burners but I would've arranged them differently. He's the man for having half of the good songs I heard. Good stuff along the jazz funk lines too. So we went after a quick change and/or food and had a really good time. I was pretty doneski after practice and recovered a bit when I came home to change. Really need to do laundry. Everyone was looking pretty good, but I could tell Teena and Stealth were tired from practice, as was I. Some cool kenjutsu, doing some footwork to "I'm Coming" J Brown and get in some cock blasts on the four reoccurring horn blows near the end to end my set. Need more of that.
1. thread gainer (first half)
2. shoulder halo
3. airflares
4. keep moving (second half)
Not too much thread gainer action even though it's the only original move out of the three. Shoulder halo I'm not getting enough height on to keep in halo position. I think I need to extend my legs more and trust in my hips instead of closing my legs to get around. Airflare is getting better, I still look down when I land the airflare which is pushing my hips and feet to the ground. Wow the aerobic part was pretty much impossible. I did however go straight for 20 minutes and hit more than half of my sets clean and good tops in the rest periods. I was at that point where it's like, "You can either keep going or keep what's in your stomach." A little light-headed also so that pretty much did it for me. So I just got some sets in with full recovery afterwards.
Sunday
We pulled together a practice at Stealth's crib.
Was a pretty good practice Teena and Dave were there. Stealth was hitting some good drills and close to the one handed stop and head freeze. Today I didn't really have a focus. I started out kenjutsu, then switched to trying to come up with new movement. The thing is that at Stealth's crib I can only do balanced moves stepping lightly or else it'll skip the record. Which doesn't seem to be a big problem, but still bboy no-no #15. I felt a bit tired but strong, definitely did not slow my pace down. Did crash a couple times just being tired, but that's when you know you're putting enough effort in. *note* I noticed that when I got tired I kept repeating this slow down step in the front of my footwork. That's actually counter productive, the energy it takes to stop myself is definitely greater than what I save in a quick Russian step. It would be better for me just to continue to a stopping point and raise up. I also need to do a practice where I can't stop moving, so I can train myself to get as close as I can to full recovery while delivering a quality step.
