Tuesday, December 14, 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.

Morning yoga, two hours climbing (I GOT THE RED TRAVERSE, W00T!).

I actually resorted to soaking my forearms in alternating hot and ice-cold water this evening (see under: pump).

I'm working on building some power-endurance lately (so lots of hard traverses and routes on the Roof Of Awesome), which is new territory for me. Really enjoying it, but damn.

I got confused by the pump term - I call the alternating hot/cold thing the Blood Pump.

I see how it could be confusing. In the climbing context, "pump" = "my forearms now look like Popeye's and I cannot hold onto anything any more".

And I didn't know of a name for the alternating hot/cold thing. But I figured it might be a good idea.

Fantastic!

I wish I lived in a city with a climbing wall. I've only tried it a couple of times and it's so much fun.
