[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.

About a month and a half ago, I got a cold. Which promptly knocked me on my arse for THREE WEEKS and then ensured that every time I stepped out of doors, I started coughing because it was cold /o\ asthma.

Tonight, I finally decided that I'd babied myself long enough, and started week 1 day 1 of couch-to-5-km. Again.

It... kind of sucked. I got a stitch and coughed up a lot of muck. But I did all of the runs and fairly fast, too. Was a little out of breath, but never painfully. Go me!

Go you!

Bravo! Keep after it.

More yoga-like stretching to make sure my sciatica stays dormant after weights yesterday. Also, a bunch of body-weight squats to pay more attention to form; I recently noticed that my knees have a tendency to bow inwards when I go all the way down, which is not how one keeps them over one's feet when one's feet are pointing slightly out.

Yay form! I have to fight to keep my knees from bowing inwards too; it seems to be quite a common issue.

Up and down LOTS AND LOTS OF STAIRS carrying LOTS OF HEAVY THINGS. I was doing an art project that involved picking books of mine that would also be on the shelves of a particular character I like and putting them on a separate bookshelf to take pictures of, and the books were all upstairs and the shelf was downstairs. Ow my legs hurt.

Houseworkout.

Scrubbed the stair handrails and vacuumed both floors.

Injured again. Pulled something in my left hip a couple days ago. Miserable year so far for trying to keep active.

Today? Slowly getting around and doing some painting.

[smackshack]

Jogged a very slow 5k, but I did all of it jogging, without a bunch of walk breaks. \0/ ! Planks to finish.

Got up at daybreak and painted the pool deck. Then went to Yinyasa yoga class.

Happy Father's Day everyone!
