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!)
5 in the swamp this morning.
5 last night and hopefully 5 today.

Morning, Penguins!! Love me some chocolate chip cookies!! I buy Barry Callebaut chocolate chips (the really good stuff) in a 3 lb bag and use it all year. Unfortunately, I ran out last week, and I can't buy more until it cools off a bit, or they'll melt during shipping. Or I could pay an extra $15 for dry ice, but that's not gonna happen. Patience, hungry grasshopper!! Chorus tonight, woo-hoo!!PAD -- woo-hoo for your swampy 5!!Zel -- hope your 5 is lovely and not swampy!!
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.
Hi! I ran 7 on the TM before Pilates and that was it. Hubby ran!

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.
