Colleen Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) I've noticed a major downturn these past few weeks in the number of people posting to the daily running/walking check-ins. More and more often, there are no replies or only just one or two when someone posts. I've been posting less often in general. I like keeping in touch with other runners, in particular, but maybe now that we're in the thick of school, we should aim instead for a weekly, rather than daily, thread. A thread started each Monday, for example (or name another day you prefer). What say you? Another option is to set up a social group but to be honest, I'm not too into the groups and I like the "more the merrier" style of just posting on the board. Btw, you can vote for more than one option. Edited October 9, 2008 by Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose in BC Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I have not posted lately, even though I have been keeping up with running. I do like the accountability but I think with the busy start of school it seemed I did not post daily. Weekly would be great. A re-cap of the week.

Laura in VA Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I don't normally check in, but may I announce that I ran my first 5K today?! I have never run that distance before. I usually only run about 2 miles. I completed it in 31 minutes. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB in NJ Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I voted for the following: Weekly General Board Hot Toddies :D I *really* miss the activity level the thread had in the summer, but there's only so much time in the day. Now that school is well upon us, I have much less time than I did back then. I'm posting less in general too. Hot toddy anyone??? :D :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I posted daily because I workout daily, but then I realized you are only asking runners/walkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momofkhm Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I didn't see it earlier. I voted daily, general, hot toddies. But then I read you explanation. I think a thread to post under all week long would work just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Okay - I voted. I'm fine with weekly checkins. I'm not on the computer much now that we're in the thick of things with school. I also haven't had time to figure out the social groups yet, so please don't take it there!! I'd LOVE to share a hot toddy with all of you after a run on a cold day! Oh - and I just signed up for another race! I'll be running a 5K on Thanksgiving morning. It's called the Turkey Trot. My boys are all running the Mashed Potato Mile! Sounds like a fun race!

Happy Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I love the daily check in. I lost a lot of momentum during that nasty cold. Then, came the out of town journey.... Well, I'm back. I'd love a daily post on the general board to remind me to get back in the groove. I'm always up for hot toddies.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
