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!)
Since there's not much I can do about getting more oxygen to the muscles I need to make better use of what does get there.
5 Miles today w/ 6 x 150 uphill & 2 x 400 with a focus on form and bio mechanics.
Morning! I have 7 tonight.
PAD, go get 'em!

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, all!! PAD, do you think low HR training would help at all? Because, you know, I'm far smarter than your medical doctor.
Quartet was quite fun last night -- we have another nursing home gig next week, so mostly we just went over the songs for the gig, ironing out the kinks. We decided that the longer we sing together, the better we sound. Go figure!! Tonight is a chillin' night with DH, woo-hoo!!
PAD -- sounds like quite a workout!! Have fun!!
Docket -- have a good 7!!
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.

I try to use LHR for my easy and long runs.
Good morning PAD, Hopesmom, Damaris, and all the Penguins.
Yoga done this morning. My hamstrings and quads are still really sore from Saturday. Did I mention the first 5 miles of that race had a 2200 ft elevation drop? I thought I had trained for downhill with lots of hill running and squats in the 6 weeks leading up to the race. But it seems 6 weeks was not enough.
