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 yogaed! And went for a mile walk!

I PRed at 2.65 mi (4.0 mph). I haven't been good about consistent exercise these last two weeks, and it's been obvious in other areas of my life.

Badly bruised my right foot because of the (grrrrr) tongue of my running shoe, so it's swimming for me today!

Lifting day! Hormones say that deadlifts are hard and I can't do heavy ones but bench press can have improvement on the work weight and a new 1RM. I do not understand my hormones, but apparently they prefer to suck the energy and strength out of my legs. Attempted to do some rows and those were no good but RDLs for stretching made my back and hamstrings happy. Some improvement on pullups -- tried for ten sets of three every minute but had to switch to sets of two after the third set. Still a good workout considering it's 'that time of the month'.

3km tempo run, some weights

I've got myself out running for the last 3 days! I'm new to this area and I've not run in a few weeks, so I'm not tracking time or distance right now, just picking a direction and going for a while. Today, my dog and I met our first wild alligator. WTF, Florida :(
