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.

There's so much snow now that going back and forth between my flat and the university totally counts as exercise. And by the time I go to bed tonight I'll have made the trek three times each way today, fifteen minutes each, so that's an hour and a half of snowy walking. My thighs are getting sore and I WILL be falling over soon, but everybody is too busy not slipping themselves so it won't be too embarrassing. =)

I'm always surprised by how much more effort it takes to walk through deep snow or on ice. It doesn't seem like walking should be so hard!
