Hey, EED community!

Check-in! Have a wonderfuly, healthy and happy 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.

Okay, so ...

Morning yoga -- minus the surya namaskara Bs, as I figured my arms probably needed a break.

(My arms felt fine in the morning, but as the day has progressed I've started to sense The Oncoming DOMS.)

Two hours bouldering.

1 hour 15 minutes Iyengar class.

I don't normally climb on the same day as doing a RL yoga class, because it's serious physical overload, but for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, all my climbing days have had to be shuffled around this week.

Now I'm looking forwards to spending the evening lying in a heap whimpering *g*.

Don't know if it'll be a rest day -- I'll see how I feel when I wake up -- but it'll definitely be a day for things that don't involve my arms in any way *g*.

Yeah, this was really NOT typical for me, and I am paying for it! Especially after yesterday. *g*

But I had to get my climbing in today, and I really didn't want to skip the yoga class.

It takes a very good teacher to motivate me to go to a RL yoga class (anxiety, not liking to go places or deal with groups of unfamiliar people, etc. etc.), and this particular teacher is amazing -- she's the one who got me doing headstands and handstands, which I would never have thought I could do.

Wow, that's so great! I'm glad you found a good teacher, bb. Headstands and handstands, hurrah!
