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!)
Another chilly day, with colder weather to come. So far I've only seen a few flakes of snow this winter, but it's coming soon.
I plan to go out this afternoon to run some hills. That should keep me warm.
Evening! Ran 6 and weights.
Ginny, hope you ran good hills.

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.

A cold wet 18k trail race today. Didn't feel it once I got started.
That's awesome, PAD! Hope you had fun!
I have my bib and am getting settled in room #2. The hotel finally admitted that the heat is not working in the first room.
Penguin Power!
Just popping by to say good luck today Zel :-)
Upcoming Races: Run as One 4M (4/24) * Japan Run 4M (5/8) * Brooklyn Half (5/21)
Good luck, Z! My phone is tracking you but so far no texts, grrrr. I know some friends must have been past the 5K but also no texts.
Return To Racing
Started our run today with no snow falling and 10 miles later, there was an inch on the ground. Caught the bunny.
Melanie - Congratulations on finishing your marathon!
Jerry -- Running in falling snow can be fun, as long as it's not too sloppy underfoot. Good job catching up to the bunny.
PAD - did you have fun racing in the rain? Was it slippery?
D - did you get outside today?
Hi Jill!
I did 14 today. The first 11 were good, the last three, not so much, but I made it. It looks like rain or snow, but so far nothing has fallen.
Nope, it's Summer here so not going outside for a while.
12 with 3 X 2 @ MP on the TM done.
Congrats on the finish, Z!
Jerry, nice job on the snowy run.
Ginny, nice 14.
Great job Z!
