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!)
An early morning junk call woke me up before I was ready then called back when we hung up, then called back again. Grrr.
I may run this afternoon, or I may wait until the Beer Runners this evening since I haven't run with them for a while. I'm a little nervous about running in the dark right now, especially since tonight's route goes though an old part of town with several uneven brick sidewalks to trip over.
Morning! I have 5-7 miles now that my back feels a bit better. And all afternoon at the dentist to get a new crown. Hoozah!

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.

Barking Mad To Run
Monday was a rest day and today I will be back at it after work. Probably a run/walk on the San Antonio Riverwalk.

Had an okay 6 miles this morning.
Picked up trash at the park. I'd love to find out who it is that keeps throwing a diaper in the parking lot not more than 15 feet from a garbage can. These people should be shot in the head.
