Barking Mad To Run
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!)

BRRRRRR!!!
I really HATE cold weather! San Antonio this morning is not as cold this morning - 31 degrees - as yesterday morning - 25 degrees - and compared to what most folks in the US have, we are pretty warm. But for we South Texans, our average low around this time of the year is in the mid-40s and our highs are in the upper 60s.....we probably won't make it out of the 50s today. Well, at least it will be sunny today, that's a blessing. Plan on doing 3 - 4 miles after work, probably on trails at a local park.
THANK YOU MRS. ROBERT! I got a nice card in the mail from Robert and his wife and family, plus a "Team TJ" wristband, which I am now wearing.
Good morning all!
Frosty indeed here at 20°, which is a Kansas norm. You get used to it, and I actually prefer it to hot summers. I cringe when I have run in temps above 72. But I can sympathize that the cold temps must really rattle San Antonians.
Got my 5 in this morning after a bit of self scolding. So nice and snuggly warm in my flannel pjs. Feel so great to have overpowered that awful voice.

No Frosty in Miami. But it's not 88F like yesterday a. Couple of miled low 80s days to come. Asthma is bad but I have 6 with 2 at MP tonight.

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.

Team TJ
After work miles for me again today. Planning 4 or more...
Running for TJ because he can't.

Morning, Penguins!! It's not so cold yet today (although there was snow up near DC), but tomorrow and Thursday are supposed to be way freakin' cold!! Still getting back into the swing of things and fighting the Abominable Head Cold. Scotty -- You might even have to put on long pants!! Kathleen -- Mmm, flannel PJ's!!Docket -- this polar vortex might even give you some good weather!!Robert -- have a good 4 or more!!PAD -- They keep TMs on the streets of Berlin?
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.
Return To Racing
We will run inside again. Still too congested to run outside. Had to shovel a few inches of snow this morning in my Jammys.
Have a great Tuesday.
Hi pens. Not too cold here - mid 40s and it was super clear last night. I have a meeting after work, and the plan is to run 6.5 after that.
Morning penguins
I ran 3.8M this morning 23° and calm winds. If it had been windy at all I would have ditched the run. Colder temps are coming and I will be on the dreadmill until this polar WTFtex is over.
Kathleen, good job on the 5 and ditching your flannel pjs for running tights.
Scotty, stay warm!
docket, sorry the asthma is bugging you. Why is it flaring up? Just a normal flare up? Dusty?
Robert, enjoy your 4 or more later
pad, enjoy Berlin today ha.
Hopes, sorry the cold is lingering. ERRYBODY is sick around here. I'm nervous.

Oh, I have a new fitbit, and last night I earned my "penguin march" badge.

Hi Pens.
It's not frosty here, though I wish it was. Today it should be about 82 and I am scheduled to run 8 miles with 10x100 strides. I will likely do about six miles on the roads and finish the last two and strides on a track while DD is at swim.
We are waiting on a ceiling medallion and new light but other than that, the bathroom is done. Werd.
Stay warm and be safe.
So much for having cooler weather. It's already 86F.
