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!)

Man, I should've taken today off instead of Monday!!  Well, I guess I just celebrated early!  At least tonight will be lazy, since our quartet practiced last night.  So I get to go home and chill (and hopefully sleep!)

PAD -- woo-hoo for your 4 done, and have fun at the gym!!

I was up at 4:30 a.m. today.  Did my run/walk at one of the local Y's, which all open at 5 a.m. around here.  Ended up with 3.2 miles in very humid conditions - flippin' 80 degrees in San Antonio already, at  5 a.m., for pete's sake.   Even so, had a nice run/walk with a couple of mild hills thrown in.  Glad I got it done this morning cuz the heat index after work, around 6 pm, is supposed to be near 108 degrees, sheesh!  Any of my friends running in that - be careful!
