Return To Racing
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!)
Going out for 3 or 4 when DW is ready.
Had a nice visit with DD yesterday on the Riverwalk, then visited her office. No wonder she likes it there with a spectacular view of the Lake and Millenium Park.
Morning! I have an RD. Flying out to Cali tonight.

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.

RD for me and a 10k tomorrow,
Damaris and PAD: Good luck on tomorrow's races. I hope the weather is good for and that you get PRs.
Z - are you heading home today?
Jerry - I hope you enjoyed a nice cool run.
Cool and cloudy here, so I did a seven mile run through the nearby hilly neighborhood. I was slower than usual (no sprinting up the hills) but it was a good run overall. I woke up with a blood blister under the callus on the ball of my foot. It doesn't hurt when I run, but I know it's there.
