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!)

Morning! So, yesterday was an odd day. Instead of flying to Seattle to run a marathon we canceled the trip since hubby booked for the wrong month and the cost of moving the flight to last night was $2000. Yeah, no. Voucher obtained for next trip. So, 10 miles 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.

Wow that sucks :-(
Maybe a mile or two for me today. I have a 10k tomorrow (lol) that I have to pick up my stuff for.

I ate some raw green beans this morning that a coworker brought in, they were surprisingly good. I'll be looking for something super extra yummy for lunch though.
Return To Racing
5 mile walk on the bridle path for us. Now heading to SIL's Kellogg MBA graduation. Hope he can pay back the loans.
I registered for that race too, but never booked a flight. Going to Oregon instead.
