exercise_every_day | Saturday, November 13, 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.

Hoping to get back into the habit of checking in now that my internet is finally fixed. So, cycled to the post office this morning - a three and a half mile round trip which is pretty uphill on the way home. I could really feel how long it has been since I got the bike out, that was hard work. It has left me feeling energised this morning though rather than knackered, so that's progress.
I went to the gym after work last night. I am just getting the hang of my new program and the gym is now shut for a week for maintenance and getting new equipment. I should be able manage a bodyweight program at home for the week though.
Kinda fancying doing some yoga this evening, we'll see.

Short wake-up yoga session with daughter. Today we will be wandering around Blacksburg and also visiting, for the first time, the site of the to-be-planted organic orchard and farm. Good times!

Some hip openers after the cycling should feel fantastic. *nods*

Morning yoga, grocery-hauling, then a bunch of eccentric and antagonist exercises for my fingers, wrists and elbows.

Walk first thing this morning, 40 minutes, and yoga in the afternoon, 45 minutes.

First, shoveling out the car from the snowstorm. Totally counts. Then the Y, and cardio on the recmbent bike, then a rush through weights. Since I had a week off due to illness I am totally cool with this.

Then, more snow-scraping.

Did some yoga, and did some RUNNING LIKE HELL! to catch a train. And a lot of walking around carrying a heavy bag because of the rugby shutting down half of town.
