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 Pengs. 10 miler this afternoon after 2 RD's.
Have a great day....

Fear is a Liar
Good morning Penguins!
7 miles or so with 7x400 intervals sandwiched in there scheduled for after work.
I'm so vegetarian I don't even eat animal crackers!
Morning all, 2 tempo this morning.
Good morning! Fun 5 yesterday. Today is a PRD. I'm having some sore tightness behind my right knee/at the top of my calf that I hope is just beginner's silliness, not beginner's injury.
Bin, I hope you and your little ones feel better.
Call me Ray (not Ishmael)
Bin, one of my twins had bad jaundice at birth and had to sleep on the photo bed for 23 hours/day for 3 days. Sorry the cough is back.
I did an easy 2.6 last night. Finally not sore as hell. I may rest today or I may run tonight, we will see. It's all good.
We have much cooler air coming soon. Can't wait cause its still shorts wearing weather here. Over it.

Traci
Dad on the run.
Hey all. Just a quick check in on the phone. Ran 3.5 lastnight. 3 with wife and last half mile was at 6:51 pace.
Plan on 6 tonight.
Chasing the sub 20 5K.
Hi everyone, today will be RD. I got 3 with NOBO last night.
Traci, I found the pics. The rest of yours turned out really good! I'll probably buy mine, those are the cheapest race pics I've ever seen, they're usually like $20 for 1 5x7 or $25 for a digital down load.
Former Bad Ass
Morning! I did 6 miles as a test run. No pain; just soreness.
Damaris
Singer who runs a smidge
Morning, Penguins!! I didn't go for a run last night, because I had zero energy when I pulled into the garage. But I did go for a walk while DH and Dusty trotted around, so at least I inhaled some fresh air, if nothing else. Jerryb -- good luck with your 10!!Bin -- I'm surprised you're doing any more running than running after the kids, running to change diapers, running to help DW ...kristin -- yeah, sounds like reality is going to be a let-down after such a great weekend!!Gustav -- have fun with your interval sandwich!!PAD -- woo-hoo for your tempo run!!okie -- hope your knee behaves, and woo-hoo for a fun 5!!traci -- glad you're not sore!!jblack -- woo-hoo for a speedy half mile!!hog -- have a good RD!! Waiting to see the pics ...
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.
Hey, Damaris snuck in! Glad you're not in pain, D!
