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!)
It be a RD for me. I Must take a cutlass to the grass.
Singer who runs a smidge
Morning, Mateys!! I wasn't around Friday because I took a sick day to go back to bed. I was exhausted, and just not willing to face the day. DH and I ran Saturday, but not a long one, because I was still not feeling it. This morning's run was better, although really humid (either soupy or sprinkling the whole time, and then actual rain about an hour later). No complaints, though, we need the rain!!
PAD -- Enjoy your rest day, and sharpen that cutlass, or you'll walk the plank!!
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.
PAD - good luck with the lawn.
HopesMom - I hope you're feeling better today. I know what you mean about welcoming the rain, any rain, just because it's been so dry.
AFM: Gray and damp here, but I think the rain is done. I'll do a few miles later, if I can. I'm pretty stiff and sore from yesterday's run, and the blood blister still hurts.
Return To Racing
Good morning, PAD, HsM and Ginny. SRD so we walked in the forest preserve for an hour. Resting up on the deck for my 2 hour workday.
There is nothing about this that does not sound lovely!!
...and I'm off tomorrow.
Ok now you're just bragging!
