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!)
Merry Christmas Penguins!
Got my 6 done this morning and created a calorie deficit that will be taken care of later.
And Happy,
Team TJ
Merry Christmas everyone.
I will most likely run later just to burn off some of the crazy.
Running for TJ because he can't.
Morning! I have an MLR tonight.
Merry Christmas to those that celebrate it.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Merry Christmas. Looks like you have a big supply of thread titles, PAD.

Yesterday I went to Lackland Air Force Base for an easy 3-mile run, but was feeling really good so that turned into a 4-mile run/walk instead, nice! The temp actually cooperated too, about 44 degrees and sunny, sunny, sunny, nice!
This morning Gail and I got up and opened our gifts and then I went to the nearby local park to get in a run/walk. Temp of 35 flippin' degrees, feels like 33, BRRR! My plans for a morning run/walk turned out to be a bust as, for some reason, the park gate was closed, and there were a couple of police cars with lights on right inside the gate. So I decided to just turn around and come on home and run later this afternoon in WARMER temps...the temp around here today is going up to a mild 62 degrees by 3 PM. So now Gail and I are getting ready to go to a move, we are going to see "Unbroken."
Hope everyone is having and will have a fabulous Christmas day!

Marry Christmas, Pens.
Remember when we were kids and on Christmas morning we were up at the crack of dawn or earlier? My kids are still sawing logs. I ran 5 miles, raked some leaves, and now I'm doing this. Kids these days! JEESH! Later, we are going down to Orange County to see my SIL and her family. The cousins are looking forward to it.
Have a nice, quiet day.

Merry Christmas!
Just snuck in a quick 2 miles between family visits. Last night was magical with all our kids. Our little ones were so excited about all the Christmas magic. Makes my heart sing.
Received a penguin light cover as a gift and had to tell them about you, my running e-buddies. :-D

What about 3 kings day? Some kids at my school get their presents on Jan 6 when the 3 kings arrive. http://www.mexonline.com/history-lostresreyes.htm
Today has been a good day with family. I got an awesome medal hanger and some PR Soles recovery flip flops. I will have to post a phot when I get back home. I am feeling a bit under the weather here, hopefully it passes.

Penguin Power!
Merry Christmas Pens!
Ran 4ish this evening with DH once we got back home to NYC. Our dog is staying with my mom through New Year's because we are heading down to New Orleans to escape NYC for a few days. I was going to say "to escape the cold" but this is the warmest Christmas I can remember.
Upcoming Races: Run as One 4M (4/24) * Japan Run 4M (5/8) * Brooklyn Half (5/21)
Ran 11.03 miles tonight. Stopped because my insides were on fire from all the coughing.
