Guest Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Greetings, nerdy fit people! I'm Erin, and I'm new here. I have a long-standing yoga practice (mainly vinyasa, with a little ashtanga these days) but realized a year or so ago that I had pretty much gotten as fit as I could from yoga alone. I then resolved to incorporate running and strength training into my life, making me pretty much the only person to start running/lifting as cross-training for yoga rather than vice versa. I started actually sticking with it about six months ago after I got ENGAGED (yes, I am That Lady, working out to get in shape for her wedding....don't judge). Now I've gotten past the hump where working out is seriously terrible and have found that I actually sort of enjoy running now! And noticing increased muscle definition and the ability to lift somewhat heavier things is neat! (although I haven't quite met my goal of being able to easily lift up our large stockpot one-handed to facilitate washing/food transfer....one day, my arms will be less spindly. one day.) I'm here because 1) I've been lurking on the boards, and y'all seem like cool people, 2) I have ONE BILLION QUESTIONS and would like to ask them to cool people like yourselves, and 3) the whole real-life roleplaying thing is INCREDIBLE and I can't wait to start writing my own irl quests. fun facts/conversation starters:I am a biochemist who decided she had had enough pipetting and went to work in intellectual property. I have a 500-hour yoga teaching certification (although I no longer teach). I have been vegan for five years, and it's pretty awesome. I read a LOT of fantasy novels (anyone else champing at the bit for the Wheel of Time release next week?). I am originally from New Orleans and still have cognitive dissonance about having to work on Mardi Gras Day. I adore my cat. Text-based RPGs are my jam (Materia Magica, anyone?). Anyway, nice to be here! Looking forward to seeing y'all around the boards! Link to comment
rketterman Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'm going crazy waiting for A Memory of Light I'm actually reading The Son of Neptune at the moment and started The Silmarillian a few weeks back...didn't get to far with that. It's a bit dry for my taste. I've told my wife I may end up crying when I finish the last Wheel of Time...I've been reading the series since sophomore year in high school...about 11 years now I guess. Oh, and welcome aboard!
