Singer who runs a smidge
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!)
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.
Ok, somehow the initial penguin pic is really really small.
Anyway, my day yesterday was the result of ongoing work stuff, which will likely never be resolved in a good way. So I guess it's time to suck it up and live with it. But I'd much rather just hide out in the igloo!
Good morning Penguins!
Hopesmom, sorry you had a bad day yesterday. Hope today is better.
I ran 6.4 this morning. It was 37 degrees. I'm still trying to warm up after having a hot shower, hot breakfast, and hot tea!
37 degrees is fine winter running weather if it's not raining.
I'm with Brilliant, it would take me forever to warm up too!!
I was ill-equipped; I wore a skirt. My legs were froze.
Well, ok, then it might've been your own fault!
Even if I dress appropriately and don't feel cold during the run, it takes me forever to warm up after running in the cold. Heck, it was 47 degrees for my run this afternoon, lovely really, but now that I'm inside and showered I'm cold
7+ mile LR today. I hadn't gone long for a couple of weeks, and I felt it today. Sucky run, but it's done.
