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 tried for 6 before 6 but didn't quite make it, but I got them done before the sun came up.
Morning! I have 7 miles tonight.

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.

Walking by the Lake today.
From the Internet.
Hi pens!
I ran a trail race. Trails are hard, as it turns out. I haven't run more than maybe 1/4-1/2 mile of very forgiving trail at a time in about a year, today was 10 with a lot of technical and single-track. It was fun but I'm going to appreciate the hell out of my solid, unmoving pavement tomorrow!
Lauren, sounds fun!
I ran 8 early and am glad I did - it's 99 degrees out there right now. A/C is working overtime!
Hoping you guys are enjoying the year long Miami weather this weekend, LOL.
I try not to complain too much in front of you.
