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!)
5 for me this morning with 5x800.
Starting my 3 day weekend so everyone back to work so I don't have to fight the crowds.
Singer who runs a smidge
Morning, Penguins!! I had a fairly lazy long weekend, as it rained all weekend. Not that it deterred our neighbors from shooting off fireworks, so Maggie was bouncing around the house, Dusty was barking, Chewie was hiding behind the couch, and Kaycee was lying there wondering what all the fuss was about. Read books, watched TV, did laundry, played video games, and helped DH try to keep up with the dishes. Our dishwasher is currently on sick leave.
PAD -- did your power come back? Have a good weekend!!
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.
Morning! I decided not to run yesterday, so Pilates and 6-7 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.

Hi Pens!
I'm back from vacation. I did a ton of hiking, but very little running. On Sunday I did a hike that had 2200 feet of elevation gain over 2 miles on the way up. Needless to say my legs are insanely sore. I'm not sure what was worse -- the way up or the way back down. The way up was very strenuous, while the way back down was a bit dangerous -- lots of loose rocks, etc. I fell and landed on my ass twice =P Anyway, I should be running but my calves are killing me so I'm not sure if that's a good idea.
Upcoming Races: Run as One 4M (4/24) * Japan Run 4M (5/8) * Brooklyn Half (5/21)
Barking Mad To Run
