exercise_every_dayHey, 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.

Date: 2011-12-21 07:48 pm (UTC)There's a track around the ice rink where I took my kids skating. The track is 1/5 mile. I jogged a quarter of the track, walked 3/4, jogged a quarter, etc. In this way I finished a mile. So I jogged a fifth of a mile.
This is a *massive* accomplishment for me. I haven't jogged since I was, I don't know, fourteen years old. (I'm thirty-eight.) At any rate, I haven't jogged since I was about 170 pounds lighter. I have been afraid of jogging, honestly. I worried about falling, about hurting myself, about looking like an ass, about being so terribly out of shape that I got sick.
Instead, after two years of steady working out, I did this today. I jogged. Nothing bad happened. I feel fine.
