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." And some penguins don't run at all, we just hang out for the company! 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!)

Have you been naughty or nice?

A couple of miles warm up, a couple miles race at the Don Zetnick Winter Run, and probably a couple of miles cool down for the day.

Sounds like a plan.

Still sick.... whine, whine, bitch, moan =P  But not nearly as sick as DR from reading the speedy people thread.

Anyway, probably another stupid rest day for me.  Just walking the dog led to horrible coughing fits so I can't imagine what running would do to me.

Pad - enjoy your run

Z - nice that you got your miles in early

Sorry for the ailments. Hope everyone gets to feeling bettor soon.

I ran 2 in 18:19 good enough for 3rd place AG and a coveted Don Zetnick Winter Run Penguin!

Sly got a slightly bigger Penguin.

14 for us which was longest since our last race in the spring.  We did our .95/.05 walk/run for most of the run although I had planned .45/.05.   It didn't warm  up much so we were cool all the way.  Other than an achy neck/back for me and DW' achy back of her knees we kept up a fairly steady pace and weren't all that tired at the end.

Time to watch some football now (if I can stay awake).

Feel better Jill and D.

Congrats PAD

 Congrats!

Thats a hell of an accomplishment during your marathon taper!   Opposing race distance types!

I was happy with my time and Lucky Billy didn't run and Raymond ran the 10k.

You didn't do too bad yourself. Masters 2 years in a row.

Jill and Damaris - sorry you're both still so sick.  I hope it gets better soon.

PAD - great AG award.  Congratulations. I've never seen a two mile race before.

Slymoon - congratulations to you too.

Z - I hope your WW day went well.  Good job on the streak run.

Lauren - do you do your LR before breakfast?  I couldn't do that. I hope your stomach has settled down.

Jerry - sounds like a really good run.  I can see not wanting to walk when it's cold, or walking really fast.

Jack - good job on the tm run. I hope your party was a good one.

Beautiful day here - 48 and sunny.  I ran 8.5 MP miles from town to home, wandering a bit along the way. It was a day where the road felt like it was uphill all the way, even though it wasn't, but I had no problem keeping the pace.

Nice, PAD!

 

I ran 11 miles on the TM at the gym in 1:38 and change. Actually, it wasn't bad.  Staff party tonight and Jerry, I will be drinking 805.  Not 805 beers, but the brand 805.

That's about as clever a beer name as Goose Island 312.
