Challenge #10: The PicLetters
At last! Walking through Montreal Downtown, I encountered this lovely 1% around a corner. (Note: In Québec, 1% of the budget in any public construction project has to go to some form of visual art accompanying the project, thus we affectionately call them “1 percents”)

Challenge #10: PicLetters
While I was in Cuba I visited the city of La Havana. I took the opportunity to desperately look for my last 2 letters.
Then I found this beautiful (!) fence.
And found the letter N!
The letter K is still eluding me. I can never find something quite satisfying. Grr! I’m so close!

Challenge #10: PicLetters
New letter! Last weekend I was in Toronto, and took some shots of the School of Art and Design (or something like that) with that big gizmo-like extension of the building. It features LEGS.
Those legs happened to give me the letter M!
Only two letters left. WOO!

This weekend, I had the opportunity to participate in the Canadian Annual Parkour Meet in Toronto, ON! Met lots of people, had loads of fun, despite the incredible humidity and heat. I was glad to bring the girl with me, too. :3

Challenge #6: Straddle Press to Handstand
Recently it’s all been about push-ups. This morning I realized how actually easy it feels to do something that was impossible for me not even months ago.
On the standard Handstand push-up, I’ve raised my max reps.

Challenge #2: The Whistle
Source: tapeonline.com
Wait, what?
Yeah, I have to give a small update on this one. In the past few weeks I’ve had oft opportunities to whistle very loudly, which I failed miserably. In turn, however, I realized I did make progress on whistling with my fingers; I was actually making a sound.
I feel like I’m on the verge of it, but still can’t find the sweet spot where I could bl.. whistle harder and produce an actual, loud, finger whistle.
The frustration I’ve felt made me want to practice it more often. Stay tuned.
