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." It's always fun to hide easter eggs in here. 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!)

Frankenstein Day

4 this morning group tonight...

Good morning PAD, HsM, and Docket.

4.5 run/walk.  73 DP, should have worn a singlet rather than a race shirt with a huge decal on the back.

BTW,  it's "Fronkensteen".

I threw a hissy fit about an instrument problem that hasn't had any attention from the manufacturer in over two weeks.  Now I have a web session with the developers sometime tomorrow. 

 

I'm also exploring new things -- working on my Director's Certification for Sweet Adelines (not that I want to be a director, necessarily, I just want the knowledge).  Also taking a Coursera course on creating web pages, and checking out DuoLingo.  Life's more fun when you're learning random things!

Jim and I do Great Courses when we are on our road trips.  They're college courses on CD or DVD. We've done a wide variety of subjects, including history, literature, archaeology, physics, music, religion, philosophy, evolutionary science, etc. We both enjoy learning new things.
