I spoke to a reporter in Minnesota today, and she told me that Kerry Huston
continues to improve, and apparently has regained more use of his limbs. She
was not sure, but he may have been up and walking a little.

If I hear more, I'll post.

Why? Unless you're a specialist (and even they need some variety), I
would always try to keep your training moving. Try to hit at least two
or three events a day. It may prove to be frustrating to spend too long
on a single event.

Why?

Well, some things take longer. For example, one day you'll have to put
together all those tumbling tricks into a floor routine that hits all the
corners, etc, etc. Other "routine construction" can be complicated too
("oops, no more bars left - guess I need something that goes backward, or a
change of direction!")

Other days, you'll be "Really close" to something, and want to spend all
day taking that final step.

Other days, things will be going so badly that you give up after the first
event you try.

I did say "once in a while". I think you think that's more often than I do.
