Tuesday, August 23 Check In

[devilc]

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.

Do not walk any distance in brand new shoes. Especially not when the one you picked of 'cheap, pretty, or walkable' was not 'walkable'. Just...don't.

And because I'm a damn fool, I wore the other new pair of shoes to work today, including on my walks at break. And because I'm even more of a damn fool, instead of sitting on my ass while we were outside due to earthquake, I was doing laps of the parking lot. Ow my blistered feet.

15 km bicycling. On the hottest day of the year.

[smackshack]

Rowing machine & kettlebell deadlifts. Practiced doing strict overhead press, push press, and jerk press.

Thoroughly cleaned the inside of my truck and pumped up the tires with a bicycle pump. Better exercise than I thought it would be!

Ashtanga yoga at home. I didn't have the juice for the whole primary sequence, but I got in a good hour.
