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!)
I'm going to the PT this afternoon to see if I can do something about my shoulder. The shots help a little, but not enough, and I don't want to have steroid injections every two months - that's got to be bad for me. I'm also worried because I'm losing mobility and I don't want to end up with a frozen shoulder on top of the bursitis or torn rotator issue.
Today is supposed to be a rest day, and given how bad my running has been this week I probably should rest, but I'd like to go to the woods tomorrow so I may do a few miles this afternoon/evening. We're having a spell of summer heat that will take some time to get used to.

I'm a firm believer in PT with a good therapist. I still do many of the exercises from my PT, and it still keeps my knee pain at bay. The pain comes back when I slack off, so I know it's working! Hope it all works out for you, Ginny!
I will probably go for a walk this afternoon, plus the aforementioned PT exercises. Woo-hoo!!
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.
4 done this morning.
Good luck with the PT Ginny.

Afternoon! Woke up sick with a sore throat and a light cold. Sigh. Went to OrangeTheory to sweat it out, ran 8 on the TM and have Pilates coming up.
Ginny, hope the PT helps. My shoulder has been having issues ever since the car accident but I have not decided if PT might help.
HopeMom, hope you enjoyed your walk.
PAD, nice 4.
