Parkour

Parkour is a noun that refers to the sport of moving through an environment while negotiating objects. Coming directly from the French word for ‘route’ or ‘course,’ our word of the day refers to a sport that has gained popularity very recently. It involves rapidly running and jumping through difficult terrain, usually in a crowded, urban environment. I would love to participate in parkour someday, but I’m not sure if I have the stamina. For somebody my age, moving rapidly through the restroom is enough of a challenge.
