Fear is a Liar
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 so vegetarian I don't even eat animal crackers!
Wound up doing a full body workout at the gym yesterday and Karaoke Wed and Thurs nights!
Now bring on the weekend!
Mmmmm...beer
Good morning fellow flightless fowl!
Thanks for starting us off Gustav, good job on the workout. I try not to admit it in public, but I actually like karaoke.
2.58 miles with a few strides for me this morning. Feeling great and ready for the race tomorrow!
Hope everyone has a great day, TGIF!!!!

Barking Mad To Run
First day back to work yesterday after vacation, so did a lot of catching up, didn't get out of work until late. So went home instead of running at the campus. But it was such a nice night - 65 degrees, low humidity - that I got my gear on after getting home and went out and did a 3.5 mile hill route. Today is a rest day and tomorrow morning in San Marcos, Texas, I have race #69 for 2012.
Thanks for starting us off Gustav! I like watching karaoke, but not doing it...I really have a terrible singing voice...frogs croaking in the night sing better than me.
Good luck with your race tomorrow, Dave.
Ugg, shift work. Get some rest, bin!
Happy treadmilling, Liz. Hope you have a quiet on-call weekend.
Football game in San Antonio? Who are you playing, Tomas? Weather should be nice, it's very pleasant here now for a few days. Will be near 80 for this weekend. Congrats on your intervals.
Enjoy your SRD, Brenda. And nice to meet you. I am the 'family dog' of The Colony, lol.

Tomas, I am doing the "Sights and Sounds of Christmas 5K" in San Marcos on Saturday morning. Nice course, goes on some trails through a city park.

Good morning Penguins. Gustav you're getting good at this. Did 2.3 this morning and really felt old, fat, and tired. I guess it beats a lot of the alternatives. Off to the first meeting of the day!
Happy Friday!
Bill
I will look into that and see If the boss (DW) is interested in doing that before sea world.
Good luck to everyone racing this weekend.
Just a couple easy miles this evening after work.
Morning! SRD and travel day for me. Off to the chiro and to do errands. Will try to check back with you before I head to the airport.
Have a nice day!
