Friday, October 8, 2010, Check-In

[muck_a_luck]

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.

40 Days of Yoga - Day 8

[just_ann_now]

I was up early again, so I had time for the 70-minute "Basics" set from Barbara Benagh's Yoga for Beginners dvd. What a great workout - breathing exercises, balance work, and lots and lots of stretches and twists. Surprisingly, no sun salutations or back bends, but that's ok - I get enough of those in during the course of the week. A really nice Friday session.

I'm giving myself credit for trying today. Got to the standing back up part of a sun salutation and had an attack of dizzy. *grouch*

Morning yoga, grocery-schlepping, REST DAY.

I'll probably go for another walk. I've got Martial Arts tomorrow and knowing how intense the Saturday work out is, that'll do me for the entire weekend.

Did yoga, situps, and a twenty minute walk to lectures (plus the inevitable twenty minute walk back).

From your icon, I presume it was an unusually tough yoga session? :D

Soon ficathon piece will be done, and I will be trying my own 40 days. This sounds so wonderful!

[shanaqui]

In the sense that it kept getting interrupted, it was! Mind you, can't complain too much -- I got new books!

My sneaky sneaky brain has been making me wake up early, raring to go. Which is good, because I really don't like 1)breaking my practice into two pieces; or 2) postponing the whole thing until after work.

Walk, about an hour, really enjoyed the great fall weather.

Planted some plants, raked leaves, cleaned the house, walked. Pretty productive today :)

[mixofsun]

Yoga, half an hour walk.

[zennish]

Crossfit again. Oy, my shoulders.
