Sunday, August 7, 2011, Check-In

[weirdquark]

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 (or someone else) 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.

Rest day. Falldowngoboom after the comp yesterday.

5 km bicycling. Might still make that 10 if I go into town this evening.

And phase 3 workout A of NRoLfW for the first time. Went about as well as I expected after a two-month pause: Somewhere between abysmal and scary. Weights my cats would laugh at, failed at the planks, failed hard at the body weight matrix, had to hold on to the handrail when going down the stairs in front of the gym because my legs said "Haven't me made clear already that that's *it* for today?"

Oh, well. Can only get better.

Feeling yesterdays run. Yogamazing's yoga also made me feel how tight my muscles our and that I actually absolutely should do something for my back/neck/shoulders. Next time.

5 sets of 10 burpees interrupted by intervals on the bike. The after sets were very sad; I don't know if doing all of them before would have made the intervals more pathetic. Probably not -- I had a hard time getting going this morning and kept spacing out which made for extended rest periods.

Running, 5km.
It went considerably well if I think about the bad night I had asthma wise.

Yoga, 30 minutes.

Rest day. Tweaked the back, yesterday, playing Dance Central.
