Tuesday, November 8, 2011, Check-In

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.

Morning yoga, two and a half hours climbing, medium walk. Which was probably overdoing it, but it was a nice night for walking.

Run, 28 minutes.

Not feeling very motivated this week. There are pain issues, but no worse than usual. Just feeling cold and lazy, I guess. Rested the last 2 days and didn't manage more than one plank and some stretching today. It's too bad I can't knit fast enough to count it as exercise, because there's been a lot of that, lately. ^.~

Dynamic warm-up, planks.

Back to the CrossFit kettlebells, which felt good. Lots of different exercises, but this was the first time I'd practiced a swing toss, where you release the bell and catch it again. Much droppage ensued, but I think I started to get the hang of it towards the end: the trick is you have turn up your mental concentration a notch or two.
