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.

I have been soooooo sick all week. My lifting calluses are peeling off, and this makes me sad. The only exercise I have been doing is incline push-ups for the IKZ push-ups challenge on Fitocracy.

Rest-ish day with mostly stretching/yoga-like things, but threw in more wide-grip pullup practice, attempted handstands, and discovered that while I can't hold my non-working leg high enough to do unassisted pistols on flat ground, if I'm on a step and let the non-working leg droop below the level of the step but keep it high enough to stay off the ground, I can do a pistol on both legs past parallel while holding counterweights. \o/

The sun's finally starting to come out, so perhaps I'll get some sort of workout in before the cold front moves in.

Morning yoga, four hours climbing (um, oops).

I buggered my right foot up overcompensating for the way my running shoes hit the wrong way on my right arch, so today is going to be lots of running stretches, no cardio (or maybe the bike if it doesn't hurt my foot), and a trip back to the running shoe store for advice and a new insert for the right shoe.

Chin-ups, lat pull-downs, barbell presses, running, and lots of sit-ups.

Yoga: 15 minutes of sun salutations in the morning.
