The "Penguin" daily threads were originally conceived to emphasize that all members of the community have a place on the boards. Encouragement, motivation, a little love nip (you will love one, give it a try!) or even a little kick in the pants when needed -- it can happen here. Basically, we celebrate just getting out there and moving our tails! What is "slow"? "Slow" is a perception but one of the common benchmarks is the 10:00/mi pace; but there's no firm line. In fact, there are many of us that have slipped past this, and just hope that no one notices and revokes their "igloo privileges." It can be confusing for the forum newbies, but we're not one of the teams in any of the fine games. It's a totally open group, so stop lurking, post an introduction of yourself dive in and join the fun! No application necessary! There might even be a lovely picture for Scotty (we love pics!)

"I'm cooler than you....."

Scotty where do you find these pictures? :-)   The trails in San Antonio sound wonderful.

Today will probably be running to from yoga.  So 4.8 miles running + 1 hour of yoga.

Morning. 6 and weights tonight.

How did your run go yesterday?  Hope your lungs behaved.

Good morning Penguins!

sapf & Damaris, those both sound like great combos, enjoy.

Scotty, I agree with sapf, your trail runs always sound fantastic.  I'd move to SA if it weren't for the weather.   Heck, I'd move to SA just to dine at Fonda San Miguel.

AFM - headed out for 5 as soon as it's light.  Then off to jury duty. 

Thanks, Scotty!  I'll let you know if I'm ever in that area.  You know we're from Texas (Hook 'em!) and have family all over the state - from Deer Park to Austin to Sherman to Marfa!  When we visit we don't usually get down San Antonio way, except the time a few years ago when we took the kids on their Texas heritage tour.  They were both born in TX but consider themselves Californians as that's pretty much all they remember.

We had a rain front come through early this morning and the temps are dropping quickly. The high for Sat is supposed to be 60, with the low near 35. Sounds about perfect for my 10k. I hope to squeeze in 6 or so after work.

Anyone hear from Cherie? I haven't seen her post in a while.

Morning, Penguins!!  Yesterday afternoon as I was leaving work, I told a colleague, "Hey, we made it through another Monday!"  I guess if I'm a day behind, Friday will be a pleasant surprise?  Maybe quartet practice tonight, although our bass is sick, so maybe not.  

Scotty -- Woo-hoo for the Spurs!!  Timmy D is a Wake Forest grad, so I like to see them do well.

sapf -- that sounds like an awesome workout!!  My hips were a little tight on my walk yesterday (probably from the clamshells I've been doing), so maybe I should think about yoga too.  Not do any, just think about it!  

Docket -- have a good 6 and weights!!

Brilliant -- have a good 5, and be just!!

Jerryb -- have a good 4, and woo-hoo for Cancun!!

hog -- I think the high here on Saturday is 50, yikes!!  Luckily I convinced DH to take the window AC out of the bedroom window yesterday, so maybe it won't be too breezy.

Cherie has posted 2014 in 2014 miles, but hasn't said anything in the FB group.

Hi Pens.

Traci: How tall are you? You look tall in the pictures. Of course hog and Robert could be short and that makes you look tall.

Jerry: I hear there is some decent beer in Cancun. Be sure to enjoy some.

I have some easy miles on tap for later today. Maybe 35 minutes of running.  PAD and I (and maybe DW) are meeting for dinner tomorrow evening. FE #3 for me. Speaking of She Can, I don't think she has been running much so may not want to post because of it. She might just be taking some time off.

See ya.
