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.

Visited Kershaw-Ryan State Park and hiked both the Rattlesnake Canyon and Scenic Overlook trails. For a total of about 1.5 steep miles. We also drove to Spring Valley State Park and walked across the top of the dam, but the historic stone cabins and hiking trails were closed!

Came back to Pioche and walked about a mile loop from the Overland Hotel to the top of the tramway which was quite steep, and boy could I really tell the 2000 difference in altitude from Kershaw-Ryan where I was fine to Pioche were I was quite winded on the last part of the climb to the crushing mill at the top of the tramway.

So, all told today ... about 3 miles of walking on mostly steep grades.

Traveling all day; managed some stretching/yoga before I left. I was put out when all of my airport things were on the same level so I didn't get to climb any stairs.
