Saturday, December 18, 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.

Cross-fit this morning. Part 2 of a 3 part challenge that's taking place over a few months. I was definitely the person modifying the most, but I finished and got stats for everything except the handstand push-up. Could not get past 65lb on the snatch (we needed 3 good ones in 45 sec) but I did get 70lb twice, and I moved to a smaller helping band for the pull-ups than I've ever used before.

Progress.

Morning yoga, two and a half hours climbing -- relatively low-key, but I made the important discovery that after five laps on the easy circuit, the pump doesn't get any worse. I hit eleven laps, and might have gone on except that it was really past time to go home.

Might do some more yoga later.

Just for fun, and a bit of a progress check, Bryan Kest Power Yoga, Level One. Boy, can that man talk! But for some reason what he says really resonates with me, so at the same time I find him annoying, I also find him very encouraging. Does that make sense?

(Rodney Yee coming up later this evening. I'm not cheating on Rodney, not when we're up to Day 25, no way.)

Walk, 35 minutes, and yoga, 50 minutes.

Half-hour (very cold) outdoor walk near a waterfall. Brrr.
