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!)
It's a bit chilly outside, but at least partly sunny. I'll probably take a rest from running but give Ben an extra walk, hopefully in the woods. I pulled my shoulder a week ago and it really hurts, so I think Jim gets to hold onto him today.
Morning! I have 9 miles tonight.
Ginny, ouch at the shoulder. Hope it feels better soon. Enjoy the walk with Ben.

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.

Good Morning. Registering for Little Rock HM before the price goes up tomorrow night, but forgot (as usual) to get the discount code first from Half Fanatics. Turns out the RD has to email it it so I'm waiting and leaving the registration open for as long as I can. Hopefully I won't have to re-enter all the info again.
SRD and I'll be short of my 1,200 mile goal for the year, unless I run a marathon tomorrow, LOL.
Take care of the shoulder, Ginny. I'll probably have a sore shoulder on Monday as we are dog sitting the pitbull over the weekend.
Happy Bacon Day !!!
2 mile fartlek on the tm this morning and took off early from work and got 8 on the trails.
