Return To Racing
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!)
Happy National Chocolate Day!!! Observed by eating the last of my pre-race chocolate donuts from last weekend.
3 easy later this morning.
GO CUBBIES !!!
Morning! I don't like chocolate! Make it white chocolate and deal. I have 10 miles 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.

We have several bags of Halloween chocolate above the fridge. The leftovers will become my emergency stash for the next few months.
I'll either do 6 or mow the lawn this afternoon, depending on whether the grass has dried from yesterday's rain.
I got in four miles this morning. I was surprised to look at my log and see it was my first run in almost a month. I can't believe how far I've fallen off the running wagon, but prepping for a certification test and having four kids will do that to a person. No excuses. Time to get serious again. I don't like the weight gain and the fact that I've been been in denial for over a year about being pre-diabetic means that I need to come here more frequently for inspiration/motivation.
8 trail mile in the State Park this morning, It was tough but better than I expected after yesterdays 12.
4 is great after a month off. Sore?
no soreness, although I didn't push myself that hard.
I came here for pre-run motivation and found it pretty quickly...
Hi, Lew! Great job!
Buelligan, I hope it's not that we bore you death, so you go outside to run better?
