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!)

Heat index of 104 after work today, so got up early and did a run/walk on the campus of the university I work for.  This was a good outing and I even managed to almost run my normal pre-injury pace.  3.1 miles done.

Sorry you all are dealing with the heat :-(  I'm heading out soon for a short run (better than no run).

Ended with 8.5 since it was so nice today (actually a little cool at the start).  Would have gone farther but DW had to get back for her Athletico appointment.  Watch died, so used the Fitbit time.

What's Athletico?

3.1 miles for me - longest distance I've run in a month.  Marathon training is going to suck :-P
