Drupal Fit

Drupal Fit is a movement to bring Drupal community members together and provide support for getting and staying fit. This movement started long ago at DrupalCons when community members met for early morning runs and group yoga.

Some of the goals of this group are:

• to provide a place for coordinating fitness-related events at Drupal conferences and in local user groups
• to encourage sharing of productivity boosting techniques and "life hacking" tips with members of the community
• to send a gentle but persistent message that our bodies are the only ones we have for the rest of our lives
• and to have fun!

While membership to this group is both free and open to anyone in the Drupal community, any negativity or unsolicited advertising (i.e. spam) will not be tolerated.

... or just this website?

Join us! Monday-Wednesday at 5:30p in front of Bongo Java Omni (two blocks from the Music City Center, 250 5th Ave S Nashville, TN 37203). Different route every day; we'll propose a route and go over it when we meet. We’ll aim to be back to Bongo Java Omni by 6:30p.

5:30p sharp - Run! Easy, casual run. All paces and distances are welcome. Typical routes are likely to vary from 2-5 miles — no pressure! Just do what you’re comfortable with.

If you’re familiar with the area or are interested in helping organize the routes, please reach out to sean@lastcallmedia.com.

Hey Everybody!

Forgive me if I posted this incorrectly...it is my first event post on Drupal.org

I am very excited to invite everyone to the Fitness/Social events coming up on July 13-16th before-during-and after Drupal Camp Asheville!

Never run a half-marathon before? Me neither! This is my first time and I thought it might be fun to do it in a small DrupalCon team. I am aiming to complete the 21km at a leisurely pace, somewhere around 2 hours 30 mins.

For those arriving in Dublin on the weekend before DrupalCon, there is Dublin's half marathon taking part in Phoenix Park on Saturday 24th of September at 10am: http://sseairtricitydublinmarathon.ie/race/dublin-half-marathon/

Thanks to our awesome community, we had over 200 session submissions! How crazy is that??? We worked with our speakers, moved some times around to adjust for speaker schedules, and now have a final schedule! As with life, all things are subject to change, but we’re feeling confident that this is as close to final as you can get when you are a month out.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for letting me join the group.

I run www.greatveganathletes.com along with a small but crack team of volunteers :)

The site has sucked on mobile for ages and I'm finally able to move it to a responsive theme. I've found a few myself but was wondering if there were any that people would recommend given what we are trying to?

Every month we send about 400-500 people to vegankit.com to learn more about becoming vegan :)

Thanks for your time and thoughts!

tsvenson has created a Mental Health group and there are some posts there that I think are of interest to Drupal Fit members, too.

https://groups.drupal.org/mental-health

I haven't spoken to him about it but I think it's a great "sister group" to Drupal Fit and I'd like to encourage everyone to check it out!

In other news, today I added a Search page to the Drupal Fit group and now all our posts, events, community spotlights, etc. can be more easily found:

Anyone interested in a hike on any of the many LA trails?

There's the Hollyridge Trail (Griffith Park) and Runyon Canyon Trail (Runyon Canyon Park) just to name a few.

Anyone else want to hike any of the CA trails?

Anyone interested in a morning run on Wednesday in Drupalcon Latin America? If so, is anyone familiar enough with the area to create a running route?

Not a runner? There's still more to do for exercise or fun near DrupalCon. Just a few blocks from the Convention Center, where Trinity hits Lady Bird Lake, businesses in the Waller Creek Boathouse rent rowing sculls, kayaks, bicycles, stand-up paddleboards, and more. Get out on the lake or ride the hike-and-bike trails around it:
http://wallercreekboathouse.org

You can even rent kayaks in the evening to go out and watch the bats emerge from the Congress Avenue Bridge at sunset.

Other places to rent watercraft are the Texas Rowing Center:

Hi All,

I was at a Drupal User Group meeting a few months ago and there was a presentation about Drupal Fit.......it was FANTASTIC! During the presentation, the presenter mentioned that there were organized soccer games. Does anyone know anything about that or can someone connect me to the organizer? Thanks!

Christefano has asked me to post here, about a blog post I wrote How to Avoid the Drupal Flu.

Essentially, it's no surprise that so many people get ill after a big conference like Drupalcon, but there are easy ways we can prevent it. My blog post discusses this in more detail, but for quick viewing here are the key points to help you stay Drupal Fit:

Sunday the 19th of May - the day before DrupalCon Portland - is Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series visiting Portland.

Anyone up for a half marathon in the streets of Portland before a week of sessions, coding and party?

I will be my first half marathon, but it's my expectation that finish it in 2 hours or less.

Find more details at http://runrocknroll.competitor.com/portland and https://www.facebook.com/RnRPortland.

Hey Drupal Fitness Geeks! We have a discussion going on at GDO/Florida about hiking Mt Hood Before Drupalcon PDX. Here's the details! Share your thoughts and spread the word! :)

Whats this about?

We are organizing a group of people who will arrive in Portland early to go hike Mt Hood.

The Plan

• Arrival: I (and others) will arrive in Portland on Thurs May 16th
• Accomodations: TBD. But most likely this cabin or similar.
• Day Activities: Heavy duty hiking
• Night Activities: Beer, steak, and Drupal
• Costs: If we fit four people into the previously mentioned cabin, the rental costs will be ~150ドル per person for the entire 3 nights. Plus we will need food, drink, incidentals, etc. Budget around 300ドル or so.
• Departure: We depart for Portland proper Sunday morning.
• Who can come: More the merrier. We can always rent more cabins. We can arrange rides from the airport together etc.

What you need to do

Post below to show interest. Tell us the following:

• When are you going to arrive?
• Do you want to stay in a cabin with someone?
• What is your favorite beer? Yes, you will be judged :)
• Also, help us spread the word! Tweet, email this link to all your Drupal-buddies (drupaddies?)!

Hiking Trails

This is all subject to change, but my plan is to hike mostly day-trails. 10 miles and less.To get a good idea of cool trails, check out http://alltrails.com/search?q=mount+hood%2C+or

I am thinking of arriving a few days early and spending some time shredding the trails. Mt. Hood has an amazing freeride park and bike and gear rental are available on site.

If you've never tried downhill but are comfortable on a XC MTB, this is one of the best places to try it as it's not as gnarly as trails in CO and UT. It's very fast and has a few skill sections but nothing outrageous. I am an advanced rider and would be willing to coach you down the mountain in one piece.

Here's the info on the bike park.

Hi all--

Christefano made a request to have these slides posted here to the group. They are my side of a two part Drupal Fit presentation from Erin Clerico and myself at the Los Angeles Drupal meetup. I have 2 atricles that inspired me and then some slides showing metrics from my use of the Jawbone Up. Overall they are a snapshot of what we discussed and may not have as much weight as the presentation itself.

http://www.slideshare.net/stevenator/drupal-fit-treadmill-presentation

Update- After a decent amount of interest in the Drupal Fit group, I am adding this to the drupal la audience to see if there is anymore interest. Currently there are 6 people interested in playing mostly on the westside of town but I think we could be somewhat flexible on location.

Hi All,
