Hey, EED community!

Here is your daily check-in post! Hope everyone is having a great day!

If you are posting for the first time, or new to the community, please review the community's standards, below.


1. Mod (that's me!) will post a Daily Check In post, for those who prefer to note their daily activities in response to a prompt. Please only place exercise comments here.

2. All members are encouraged to post daily independent posts about their activities, if they prefer that to a prompt.

3. Please place any NON-EXERCISE comments in independent update posts and behind a cut. Some people are sensitive to discussion of diet and nutrition. That is integral to many people's exercise activities, so I want members to be able to discuss that, but for those who are here strictly to log exercise, I would like them to be able to avert their eyes.

4. Everyone is encouraged to introduce themselves, discuss their exercise goals, and post updates on their activities. "I finally made it to running a mile!" or "I kicked up into handstand today!" are updates that we all want to hear about and share! Please put long posts and entries involving diet and nutrition behind a cut, though.

5. Aside from intro posts and injury announcements, please try to include an exercise update in every post.

Laps around Legislative Mall seem to be a daily thing now.

Legislative Mall sounds like a place to shop for legislation.

[alexseanchai]

It does, doesn't it? No, Mall as in big open green space adjacent to Legislative Hall and assorted buildings containing Dept of State, Dept of Education, Div of Corporations, so forth, so on.

People do shop for legislation sometimes. ;) (OK, enough politics for now.)

Morning yoga, two hours extremely lackadaisical climbing (still exhausted from Saturday, and some of my finger tendons are rather unhappy). Then a Yoga Journal podcast at home to try to work out some of the aches.

Morning work: Elliptical machine
Evening work: Power Yoga with Bryan Kest, Challenging Level, ow.

[willful_zephyr]

Rest day: meditative yoga

Walk, about 40 minutes.

Crossfit strength benchmarks in deadlift and overhead press. Overdid it a bit with the press...my back might not like me tomorrow.

It's tomorrow, and my back likes me just fine. \0/ !

Another snowstorm yesterday, so 2 hours of snow shoveling. There's was only about 1 hour's worth, but it takes so much longer as I've run out of easier places to put the snow and I have to walk a lot with the shovel to find a place to put it. Right elbow and knee hurting.

Tonight -- 45 min free-form relaxed yoga then 20 min roller work. Things are continuing to loosen up. When I started, my triangle to the left had me on my fingertips on top of a block and I can grab my left ankle now. Good signs.

Unplanned and unintended 5 kilometer walk in my sneakers. I now have blisters on my hells. Lovely.

[alphaviolet]

Hope they've gotten better. :(

Dance class. 1 hr.
