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!).
Happy National Hot Dog Day !!!
5 cool miles after work for us.
Still can't copy the penguin on the iPad. ugh...
Morning! Got a late start so only got 3, gym tonight.
Barking Mad To Run
FYP, Jerry!
"Only" 3, huh PAD? Sure, go ahead, make me feel like a low-mileage loser, since that's about my mileage every run, lol..
3.4 miles for me at Fort Sam Houston this morning. Flippin' warm, already 84 degrees at 6 a.m. Even so, today my motor was running pretty good and I had a really nice run/walk, with all my running segments done strongly. I also might have a double today, as I'm thinking about doing the Zoo Fun Run 2-Miler after work today. The run starts at 6:30 pm and is done in the park next to the Zoo. The park has a lot of shaded trails. Which is good because the temp today for the run is predicted to be 94 degrees.

Morning, jerry, PAD and Scotty.
Scotty, zoo run doesn't sound so good for you with all the animals encounters you had. Hee
6M at easy today. Posted a photo and video on yday thread. On phone. So no idea how to post again.

Morning, Penguins!! I got my walk in last night sans DH. He made it for about 1/3 of a mile, then quit because his back was hurting. Which worked out ok, because by the time I finished my walk, he'd grilled chicken and veggies! He got a new grill for his birthday, and it definitely makes the food taste better and the clean-up easier. Worth every penny! Tonight is quartet rehearsal, so that's all good.Jerryb -- enjoy your cool miles!! I suspect Scotty will be a hot dog today!!PAD -- woo-hoo for your 3!!Scotty -- good luck with your "double"!!Bin -- saw the photo, it made me laugh!! All of these serious guys, and you!
When it's all said and done, no one remembers how far we have run. The only thing that matters is how we have loved.
obie -- good luck with your 4!!

Morning Penguins!
No time for running. Went and got some blood work done, and now headed to art lab.
Bin-- Omgosh, how cute you are! Watched the video of you getting your medal and trying to eat it. You're the funnest one on your team!

So, HsM, he can't walk because of his back, but he can stand over a grill and cook? That would kill my back worse than walking! Standing too long really annoys my back. Guess I have a different type of back problem than he does. Backs are so weird, just never know what things will bother the crazy back. Enjoy rehearsal tonite.
Luckily, Bin, the run is not IN the Zoo, but in the park adjacent to the Zoo. So I should be safe. Although..this IS the park where I once ran into the butt of a police horse... Nice photo, Bin. Too bad the medals weren't 'cookie' medals.
Good luck with the 4 obiebyke!
Do they give you bourbon at the finish, Mitch?
Art lab, Cherie? Your blood is made of paint? Tell them you want your result SOON and don't let them 'brush' you off...
It's a muscle spasm across the top of his back. He'd already been for a walk with Dusty that day, so he wasn't really up for another walk. But if he wants to grill, I'm not going to fuss!
Morning! I mean, whatever! Slept 3 hours because we got home at 2am after the Def Leppard/Kiss concert. Pilates after work and if I have time, a run.
