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!)

Damaris
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.

Morning, Penguins!! Rehearsal was good last night, although I always come home exhausted. At my last checkup, my doc asked me if I exercised. I told her I sang four hours a week, and she looked at me like I was crazy. Honey, don't knock it 'til you've tried it!! SRD today, and tomorrow I'll be making goodies for church on Sunday. I'm thinking cookie dough truffles, oatmeal raisin cookies, and gingersnaps with pumpkin dip. Woo-hoo!!
PAD -- no plaid here today, but enjoy your rainy rest day!!
Docket -- glad to hear Matthew didn't come to visit!!
When it's all said and done, no one remembers how far we have run. The only thing that matters is how we have loved.
Penguin Power!
DR - glad to hear the hurricane missed you..
Tomorrow I'll be doing a short run. I've decided with my lack of free time due to buying a house and all that I'm going to skip NYCM this year. I have no business running it as I haven't trained at all. Maybe next year? To be determined. Anyway, there's still a bunch of unpacking and painting yet to be done. I'm hopeful that we'll be done with all of our short term planned projects within the next two weeks.
I hope everyone else is running a whole bunch more than I am!
Upcoming Races: Run as One 4M (4/24) * Japan Run 4M (5/8) * Brooklyn Half (5/21)
Return To Racing
Glad it missed you. Good luck in Chicago. We are not volunteering this year so no Dew at AS12.
Wait, what?
