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!)
Nobody is running today?
I did 13 today. Beautiful weather, somewhat hilly course and I struggled for most of it. I am not looking forward to next week's race.
I went to Barre class this morning and then ran 3 outside tonight. Not too bad, just 85F since it was raining. Still slow as molasses, but hoping this is just temporary and not my new reality.
Ginny, nice 13.

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.

Hour and ten minutes until race start!!
Go!
10 trail miles on a new to me trail. Just the right amount of hills and no cliffs to climb.
I ran from town to home - 8 sunny miles.
