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!)

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.

Morning! Ended up with 2.85 at Orange Theory yesterday and I called it a day. The MP intervals, the rowing competition (which I won), etc., tired me out, ha. I have Pilates and 7-8 miles tonight.
Docket rocket what kind of treadmill do you have? I'm thinking of buying one for post baby exercise/to be able to run again more easily.
Jill, I have a Sole F85, which I love. Solid, silent, and can handle the miles.
Singer who runs a smidge
Morning, Penguins!! TGIF, indeed!! I have quartet rehearsal tonight, sort of. There will only be three of us because our lead is on vacation. But we haven't been able to get together in a while -- our bass had a double mastectomy a few weeks ago, so we're going to get together, sing a bit, and just enjoy being together again. Woo-hoo!!
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.
D - I hope your 8 miles go well this evening.
HM - I hope you had fun with your trio.
AFM: rest day.
