Return To Racing
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!)
fragtastic (adjective) : If there is more than one thing that is fantastic.
Happy Friday Peeps !!!
Hope the Planking is going well. I'll stick to my hip exercises today. Probably some more 1.5 mile runwalks this morning.
Feeling better Bin?
Morning, Jerry. No more flu symptom but cough is still there. Taking another RD today.

2XU HM - 29 Mar
Morning! 6 miles instead of the usual SRD as I took an SRD on Wednesday due to asthma.

Hi, Jerry!
Damaris
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.

Good morning Bin and Jerry. Feel better, Bin!
SRD for me. Heading up to the Poconos later today -- I'll probably sneak out of work not long after my boss leaves. The weather is too nice to be cooped up in the lab!
Kristin -- good luck at Washington's Crossing tomorrow! Say hi to Jess. I PMed with George -- he's going to volunteer. maybe we will all meet at a different RunBucks race some time?
Barking Mad To Run
Happy Friday! Will be going to packet pickup after work to get my stuff for Race #47 for the year, the COPS 5K and 12K, an event benefiting the families of local police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
Today is August 16th. Holidays for today are National Tell A Joke Day; Men's Grooming Day; and National Airborne Day, which celebrates the first US Army paratrooper jump in 1933. Food Holiday for today is National Rum Day - so get out there and run, you Rummies!
WATER...... It has been scientifically proven that if we drink 1 liter Of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more Than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli bacteria found in feces, in other words, We are consuming 1 kilo of poop! However, we do not run that risk when drinking because alcohol has to go through a Distillation process of boiling, filtering and fermenting. It is better to drink rum and talk sh*t than to drink water and be full Of sh*t.
You are welcome for this valuable information.

Am I the only one that thought this was funny? Also it makes me want some ice cream
Anywhooo.... 7 miles last night, first long run since coming back from the leg injury. Felt AMAZING! Weather was beyond perfect. Also I'm finally back under 200 lbs after my vacation binge and the 3 weeks that followed :/ Oops!
Weightlifting is going well. I am going to update with a 6 week progress pic.
That's about it for now, HAPPY FRIDAY!

Hi Pens...
Jerry: enjoy the wogging.
Bin: glad you're feeling a little better. Get your rest!
Docket: nice 6 and great avatar!
PF: "Sneak" out? The boss wouldn't like tat, huh?
Scotty: Thanks for the info... I guess.
Kristin: good luck tomorrow and enjoy the FE.
Last night I got my 10 miles in after back to school night. I was tired but when I started running that feeling went away and I felt good. Scotty, you were right; I slept great! Rest day for me and 5 miles recovery pace tomorrow morning. Enjoy the weekend!
Forgot to say, the 6 are tonight, so I have not run them.
jjblack, that is only because you were craving ice cream, LOL.
Scotty, don't you get the day off for National Joke Telling Day?

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.
Hey everyone.
Scotty, my wife always tells me I'm full of poop! Haha
Bin, get well.
hiya Margo!
Jimmy, nice run!
Kristin, have fun at th race and FE, get some pics.
Zel, how is Mia ?
I hope to do 3-4 easy after work.
Phillie sorry you won't be there. Washington's Crossing is only 20 miles from my parents' house, which I visit regularly, so I would definitely do another race in that area for sure!
Mmmmm...beer
Hey everyone!
2.8 miles this morning with some strides to get ready for my race tomorrow. It was beautiful out, only 57* this morning! Made me wish I didn't have a race tomorrow so I could have run longer and enjoyed the weather.
Kristin, good luck tomorrow!!
Anybody else racing this weekend?
Hope everyone has a great day!
