Tuesday, July 5, 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.

Swimming: 34 minutes. Increased the intervals to twelve. Was rewarded with a very nice endorphin high.

Yoga-like stretching, and ballet-type bar exercises where you hold your leg up, which I am hoping will be good practice for pistols.

Morning yoga, two hours incredibly ineffectual climbing -- I was wiped from yesterday, but just wanted to keep the blood circulating and see if it'd help work out some of the aches (which it seemed to).

Core Synergistics, last time for this round of P90X. \o/

Humidity needs to die in a fire

High humidity and sudden drops in barometric pressure are kicking my kiester.

That said, I womaned up and did standard arms and abdominals and walked 1mile on the treadmill at 2.5mph.

And now, ibuprophen.

Yoga, 25 minutes.

"Fight Gone Bad" at the crossfit kettlebell class this evening. Three rounds of the following: as many sumo deadlift high-pulls in one minute as possible; as many box jumps in one minute as possible; one minute of the rowing machine as fast as possible; one minute doing as many overhead push-presses as possible; one minute of doing as many wall-balls as possible. Rest one minute & repeat.

On the one hand, I was pretty wiped out. On the other hand, I feel I've atoned for the holiday indulgence in hot dogs, ice cream, and beer.

Kiddo was sick today, and stuff kept interrupting the time I'd set aside for yoga. Ah well. Another unplanned rest day.

A slow walk, about 3km long
