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!)
Still not running, though my legs feel a lot better. It's a beautiful sunny day, so I wish I were hiking or running, but it's better to give my body a break for another day, at least.

Hey, Ginny, there's always dog-walking and chillin in the sun with a glass of sweet tea and a good book!! I'm doing my last-minute crazy person impersonation, probably because I'm down to my last day before competition and I'm a crazy person. So much to do, so many details to remember!!
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.
Morning! I ran 3 miles this morning. Orange Theory and 2 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.

Ginny, just run when you feel you can. I don't usually wait too long even after a PR race. You'll know what to do...before you go crazy.
Hope, don't go crazy!
It was such a gorgeous day, 60's and sunny, we ended up driving to the Shippensburg rail trail and walking 4 miles this afternoon. It gives me 6 for the day, and the legs felt fine. I'm hoping to run a couple tomorrow.
Got 6 this morning on the TM w/10x400.
