Sunday Parkour Sessions

The other day I tagged along with Rowan University's Parkour Club. For those wondering, Parkour is "the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one's path by adapting one's movement to the environment", according to the American Parkour website. A number of members came out to practice on Halloween.
