July 31, Check-In

Hey, EED community!

Bad mod! Went out to do errands without posting a check-in! Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday!

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.

Do you have to keep your face out of the water, too? I can't go under the water or I panic.

Yay yoga! \o/

Yup! I've never, ever managed to deal with putting my face in the water when I swim.

The excellent thing is that with outdoor swimming, it's quite a sensible way to swim anyway: I'm happy to swim in the Serpentine (as long as I get a bath afterwards to wash the algae out of awkward places), but I wouldn't want to drink it. Also, I am not kidding about the swan.

*grins* I dogpaddle with my chin way up, so I totally know what you mean. I get made fun of for it, but I love to swim. Have only been swimming once this summer, I hope to do it again soon.
