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!)
Is insomnia contagious? Last night was my turn to toss and turn. I'm getting some bloodwork this morning, so I can't even drink coffee to wake up. Hopefully later.
In any case, I have 5 miles today, which will probably end up on the TM since it's raining.
Afternoon! Didn't sleep much last night but at least I slept better, if there is a thing like that. I went to PT this morning, ran a mile there and proceeded to jump from everywhere, trampolines, jacks, boxes, etc. This woman is trying to kill me, I am sure of it. Pilates 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.
