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!)
Since I make four, I guess?
Hi pens. I'm working a whole lot. And running some. And have classes. But I do read you all.

Well that should definitely bring LRB out of the shadows!! Hiya, Zel! We didn't get much snow at all from the "blizzard", maybe a dusting. It was the ice that was more of an issue. Most of the counties around me closed schools, but the schools where I work didn't even have a delay. Many parents were up in arms, because several of the schools didn't even have power (seriously, they sent kids to schools with no power??) But apparently it was SOL day, and delays were not going to happen!!
Chorus rehearsal tonight. 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.
Morning! Ran 10 this morning and slipped on my bad leg, yay. Pilates tonight.
Z, working and nothing much is not good.
Hope, enjoy the rehearsal.

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.

URD. Cold and windy, so I'm happy not to be running outside. I did do a short jog with Ben this morning on our walk to get through a particularly blustery hill.
Z - Your life is always so busy. I'm glad you're finding the time to run too.
HM - have fun at rehearsal tonight.
D - I hope you didn't hurt anything when you slipped this morning. Good job on the MLR though. Is that your longest post surgery?
I did 10 on Sunday and that has been my longest since then. I had a planned 12 miler this weekend but we signed us up for a 10 miler race on Sunday so I won't be doing 12. But the miles will go up by a lot this week so I can do that. Next weekend is 14 and unless I hear from my coach, I'm planning on adding from then on until I reach 18-20.
