Thursday, April 14, 2011, Check-In

[muck_a_luck]

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.

5734 steps, 4.17km. I'm walking less because now I'm biking to and from work, about 50 minutes.

Went to the Y yesterday and had a really good workout, but this morning ----

I don't know if I slept wrong, or didn't stretch enough, or if I need to do those deadlifts more slowly, but my lower back is unhappy and it's making me totally grumpy.

Today's exercise: Lots of slow, careful stretching, and doing light housework.

Actually got up early enough to do Yoga X (about an hour and a half) before work instead of trying to squeeze it in before bed. I can actually get up into Wheel and stay there almost the whole time instead of grunting halfway up, going "NOPE," and plopping right back down to Bridge now!

Morning yoga, two and a half hours climbing.

Had my Martial Arts class last night. Definitely a work out.

[semielliptical]

Walk, 30 minutes.

No javelin juggling at CrossFit tonight, alas, but instead we did something called a "bear complex" where you combine deadlift, clean, front squat, push press, back squat, and another push press, into a series of moves that constitute a single rep. One of those delightful exercises where a single rep leaves me winded.

And then...the box jumps.

Biked 30 minutes, in intervals, with a longish break in the middle. (I was biking to the bike shop, where they did some minor work on the bike, and then back.)

...I feel fantastic. What's up with that?

Active recovery: swam a kilometre.
