August 24, 2010, 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.

Elliptical machine, stretches, meditation. Good stuff.

Did some yoga! I was hoooping I'd be allowed to change my bandages today (and thus run), but I am getting disapproving looks when I hint about it, so apparently not...

yoga for 28 minutes. one of these days I'll get through the whole baron baptiste video I've been using. today was not that day.

Ran/walked two miles, followed by crunches and stretches. The heat is making it hard to get out there every day, but I'm making sure I do at least two short midweek runs plus my weekly long run, which will be sufficient to get me trained for the half marathon.

Three sets of wall pushups and one of worktop pushups and some gentle stretching. The worktop pushups were a lot easier than the last time I tried them. :D

Yay pushups!

Morning yoga, two hours of climbing, and then some scapular stabilizing exercises; I want to see if they might help with my wobbly shoulders during bench presses.

An hour of yoga with YJ podcasts, including a core-focused one that was new to me. It didn't seem too difficult, which probably meant that I was doing it wrong.

I have been terrible about checking in lately - I haven't been online much at all. I have been doing a minimum - 10 mins yoga of a morning and 45mins ish in the gym monday - it was really busy and everyone was chattering and I just couldn't get into the right headspace. It's really rainy today, so I'm hoping it'll be quieter at the gym tonight.
