    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!)

      Good Morning Pens.  August already ???

       

      Going out for 5 when DW is ready.  Cutback week with HM's next 2 weekends.

        Morning.  I have 8 miles and Pilates tonight.

         

        August, the start of our three extreme hot months of Summer.  Wonderful. We have hit 100s heat indexes almost every day, so I expect we will hit 10000 on our hottest months.  Waahhh.

        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, Penguins!!  I know, I'm surprised it's August too!  But since I'm prone to liking whatever weather I don't currently have, I'm looking forward to cooler temps and being able to sleep with the windows open at night again.  My tech is back at work today, which means I can chill a little bit.  Woo-hoo!!  Which is good, because I kind of have a lot of chorus stuff to do ...

          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.

            Well, Docket, when you live on the surface of the sun ... 

            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.

              5.8.  DW didn't get the memo on cutting back.  No run/walking today, just run at race pace and ran over our bridge.
