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!)
4 cool miles this morning, breakfast and off to work. I should be off by 7.
I'm going to try to run a 5k in the morning, not sure if I'll make it or not.
Have a good Derby day, PAD.
D - safe travels!
Another rainy day here, so probably a RD or XT day. I may be coming down with another cold. I had a tickle in my throat yesterday that had me coughing and sipping water all day. Maybe just allergies, maybe sinuses, maybe a cold.
I ended up not running at all this weekend. There was a Beer Runners HM fun run today I wanted to do, but I spent the night coughing, so decided not to go. We did get out to the woods for a 3 mile walk on the ski trail today. Walking doesn't aggravate the cough as much as running does.
Hi! Traveled yesterday, ran the Flying Pig Marathon today and am back in miami. Whirlwind weekend. And I have jury duty tomorrow. Sigh.

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.
