Return To Racing
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!)
Good Morning. Finally getting some heat in Midwest with a 65 DP already. SRD #9 for me. Running still outsourced to DW. Hope the succorhea isn't too bad today, Scotty!

Morning all! SRD for me. Hanging out with a cup of coffee and contemplating having a second homemade English muffin - they were kind of labor intensive but way tastier/cheaper than the store-bought kind. Enjoy your Sunday!
6M done. A lazy day. Hope everyone have a great day!

Smaller By The Day
Morning folks (or afternoon). Since I've already got more miles in than my plan calls for this week, I'm just going to run with P3 today. Today's her long run, and it's one of the hottest days so far this summer. We're going to aim for the least humid rather than the coolest part of the day, and see how that works out. Also, we're going to work on hydration while running. Nothing like trying to learn new things.

Hello pengs
going to do some hiking today. Not sure what shoes to wear. Don't want to wear kinvaras. I guess I should wear my old support shoes but do I wear the arch support orthotic or not?? I don't know what to do as I don't have any neutral trail shoes. i have chacos too not sure if I want to hike in those although people wear them hiking all the time. Im dragging DH with me too which should be fun as he hates to sweat. Wuss.
