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.

Who better than Dries Buytaert, the founder and project lead of the Drupal project, to be the exemplar of the Drupal Fit movement?
Many thanks to Dries for lending his fitness to the Drupal Fit group. Post a caption in the comments and win fame and notoriety!

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!

Mental Health group
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:

More Exercise Options for DrupalCon 2014
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:

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:

- Who can come: More the merrier. We can always rent more cabins. We can arrange rides from the airport together etc.

Read moreMountain biking Mt. Hood during Drupalcon Portland
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.
Read moreDrupal Fit talks at Los Angeles Drupal Meetup
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.

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.
