Bill, welcome and enjoy the RD you deserve it after the 3 yesterday!

How do I get my avatar onto this forum.  I've been trying to select some photos and put those onto my profile page, but it does not seem to update onto this forum for me.

Thanks for starting us off, Gustav.   LOL on the joke.

Only 3 miles for you, Damaris?  Are you not feeling well?

Good luck with your miles later, Tomas, if you get them in.

Kristin, hope you feel better!

Well, bin, at least you got some miles in today.

Ugg, shift work.  Good luck with your new hours, Jimmy. Sorry about the leg hurting.

Happy biking, Jen!

Congrats to your brother, Kara.  Enjoy your rest day.

Welcome to The Colony, Bill.

Nice running in that weather, Brady.   I can relate to those temps now...and I must say I am glad to be back in San Antonio and out of that kind of weather!   Happy training for your half.  BTW, what is the biggest 10K in CT? 

So sorry about the ITB acting up again, Traci. And sorry for your loss too.  Safe trip.

Hi Pens...

Last night I wanted to give the ITB a good test so I ran four hard miles with about six longs strides built in.  I ended up with an 8:13 average pace and more importantly, the ITB feels pretty good. I "felt" it at times, but it did not actually hurt so I ran through it.  Three easy miles on tap for today, rest day tomorrow, and 5k race Saturday (with fun socks for Steph). Unfortunately, it is now raining here and the course is 90% dirt and trails. If the officials deem the course too muddy or hazardous, they move it to what they call the "rain course" which is more asphalt, shorter distance, and none of the big hills. I hope they don't switch it. I read all of your goings on, but I need to scat. I will try for personal later. Have a great day.

Scotty I am not sure what the biggest 10K is in CT, but the Amica Iron Horse in Simsbury has a Half and 5K associated with it so that could be pretty good sized.  Also there is the Nutmeg State 10K.  Probably the largest single race in CT is the Manchester Road Race on Thanksgiving (15K people, 4.75 miles).  If you find a race up here I will run it with you

Good morning everyone!!!

Gustav, thanks for starting us off, and for the laugh.

Damaris, go for 3 and still call it a rest day, that's what I did today lol

Jerry, enjoy the rest!

Tomas, I agree with Kara, always take those moments when you can, they grow up too quick!

Kristin, hope you feel better and can get your run in this week. Don't fear the TM, I don't like 'em, but they're not too bad. Before you go, figure out the pace you want to run at, so you can calculate the mph you need on the TM.

Bin, good job on the run, it's cool when you can literally run to get something.

Jimmy, hope you can get your run in, sucks about the shift change, I don't miss shift work at all.

Jen, glad you had a good run.

Kara, enjoy the rest, that's great about your brother's film! What's it about?

Scotty, you might want to change your aftershave, apparently the deer really like it! lol

Bill, glad you made it over here, good job yesterday, enjoy the rest today.

Brady, the weather can be weird sometimes, this morning was only 30*, it felt like the coldest run I've done, but I've run when it was colder. I'd pay $12 for a timed half, even without the swag, that's a great deal. Good luck!

Traci, sorry to hear the ITB is still hurting, hope that gets better soon! Even more sorry to hear about the funeral.

Steph, hope you have a good run later, I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya.

Jack, nice job on the run, glad the ITB is doing good.

Lauren, yay for new shoes!

AFM, SRD, so I went out for 2.58 miles :P lol I'm doing the holiday streak, but one mile just didn't seem worth it, so I did two laps around the lake. It was supposed to be nice and slow, so it would still be like a rest day, but it's really hard to run slow when it's so cold out, ended up with a 7:27/mile average pace, wth? LOL

Hope everyone has a great day!!!

Gustav, Thanks for starting.. and I am in that shoes of searching for satellites.. haa

Damaris, Enjoy the RD..

Jerry, you shld jump in and offer DW a massage..

Tomas, Good way to start a day..

Kristin, Listen to your body.. Always worked for me.. Get those sleep.

Jen, Congrats on running well on TM.

Kara, Congrats to your bro and the other secret news too.

Scotty, I think the deer missed you too.. Happy clearing those emails.

Bill, Welcome.. Again..

Brady, $12 for a HM.. what a steal! Happy training..

Traci, Take time to rest the ITB.. Sorry abt the funeral.

Steph, Hope you get the 3M in later..

Jack, Think what you are doing to the ITB is helping.. Continue to do that and we will have a fast penguin soon.

Lauren, Nice shoes..I was just thinking that we have lesser photos here.. And you came to the rescue with some shoe porn.

Hope'smom, Enjoy the potluck.. What did you bring?

Morning my new penguin friends!

Thanks for the chuckle Gustav

Yesterday I planned to do 5 miles. When I reached 2.5, I felt okay so I went a little further and ended up with 5.8! Feel good today but I’m sticking to the plan, 3 miles today.

Have a great day everybody!
