August 20, 2010, Check-In

[muck_a_luck]

Hey, EED community!

Here is your daily check-in post! It appears to be Friday!

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.

My light day - 25 minutes Good Morning yoga plus meditation.

My oldest daughter turns 30 today! I'm fine with it - "Oh, yay, you're a grownup!" but my husband's not going to take it very well ("I'm the father of a thirty-year-old"!). Oh dear.

Happy Friday, everyone!

45 minutes with Yoga Journal podcasts.

\o/ I'm glad you're enjoying the YJ podcasts too; they were a wonderful discovery for me.

Managed morning yoga ohthankgod (I feel it all day when I miss it). And two and a half hours climbing!

yoga before work, gym after. It's my weekly session with my trainer, so I'm looking forward to it. He always gets me to work so much harder than I can on my own, and gives me fun exercises to do that I would never think of. It's less than 2 weeks till I go surfing, so I am feeling very motivated!

Oh, hey, if you check the Yogamazing podcast on iTunes, they've got a "Yoga for surfers" class up -- I'm not a surfer so I don't know if it's any good, but it might be of interest.

I've seen a few of these yoga for surfers vids - I have no idea how useful they might be either - maybe after the trip I'll have more of an idea!
Right at the moment they all look far to advanced for my body - I'm still very firmly a beginner.

One of my rest days today.

I did a lot of chasing around after people today, because of my birthday. Lots of walking. And a little, little yoga.
