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!)
3.5 in a lite LA rain
Penguin Power!
Dreary morning here in NYC. Will get a short run in later today when the misting stops.
Upcoming Races: Run as One 4M (4/24) * Japan Run 4M (5/8) * Brooklyn Half (5/21)
Return To Racing
Back on the bike path for us. You know it's F^3 cold when our fiirst mile is 10:02 and then negative splits. Or, maybe it was the pre-run Halloween M&M's. We have lots left.
Have a great weekend and good luck weekend racers.
on my way to badass
Still waiting for the perfect race picture. 5K PR-33:52 , 10K PR 1:11:16, First HM 2:42:28
3 done this morning with negative splits. That doesn't even begin to take care of the days allotment of calories consumed as candy last night.
SF - don't let the blerch win! :-)
Still trying to figure out what the blerch is. Lean beef and cauliflower on tap for dinner tonight.

The blerch is my nemesis for sure!
Happy Dia de los Muertes. I hope Scotty and Kristin had good races this morning.
Damaris - have fun tomorrow. It's going to be cold, especially compared to Miami.
PAD - good job getting out in the rain. At least it should be a pretty warm rain.
sapf - we have the same weather. I hope you get out later.
Jerry - any snow with that cold? Good job getting out and running off a couple of the M&Ms
StoneFence - three is a good way to start the day. Did the cold and wind speed you up too?
AFM: 45 and spitting rain, not enough to get very wet, but not terribly inviting. Ben got his walk but I may end up running indoors later.
10k PR for me this morning. I'll get more details up later.
Congrats, Mitch.
Congrats!

Congrats Mitch.
Running for TJ because he can't.
I dragged myself out there and did 3ish. I would have done a bit more but it was so windy and I was getting blown around quite a bit. It is only getting worse out there too. I feel bad for the marathon runners tomorrow. I guess at least the rain should be gone for them.
