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 another community member 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.

Run: 45 minutes.

2 mile walk. I'll also be working on handstands and front levers at random points during the day.

I aspire, at some point in my life, to levers.

Jogged/walked 1.25 miles in my hilly neighborhood. This is the first time I jogged ALL of the uphill bits on my Moderate route.

(I have four routes that are all about 1-2 miles, graded according to my perception of how evil the hilly bits are. Mild, Moderate, Hard, Kill Me Now.)

Fitocracy only gives me 64 points for this. Fitocracy CLEARLY has no idea how hard it is to move my ass up those hills!

Legs, bums, tums: 20 minutes.

I'm following the progressions from this website-- I'm working on being able to hold tuck front levers for a minute. I've worked my way up from 'haha does that count as a second or does it just take time to rotate and fall' up to 20+ seconds on my first set, so still on level one, but still pretty cool.

I like your grading system. :)
