Penguin Power!
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!)

Morning, Jill! Hope you're well. I have just a 1-mile streak run tonight. Hanson's track workout #1 last night went pretty well.
Singer who runs a smidge
Morning, Penguins!! Had quartet rehearsal last night, as our baritone is off to Jamaica. Not that I'm jealous or anything!! Tonight, being Ash Wednesday, I'm going to bail out of work a little early and head to my church's service. So it'll be choir singing tonight.
Zel -- gotta love those streaky runs!! I hear vinegar will clear those streaks right up ...
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.
Haha - of course I started this and ADD'd out ;-) Anyway, probably 5ish for me today.
My eye doc on Monday was so distractable I had to laugh. She was all "Ok, so we're going to check your prescription, is your hair darker than it was last year?"
Afternoon! I have Pilates and maybe my rest day or not.

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.

Does he mellow smooth? Tell him to have fun.

Streak mile or 2 for me as well.
She. All our quartet (and chorus) are women! Church choir is mixed.
5.2 miles done. I emailed the local Y to see if I could get a tour before I leave for vacation because there's no joiners fee until feb 15. I was thinking that at $60 per month as long as I swim once per week and go to a spin class once per week it is well worth it. Spin classes are typically ~$20 around here and my building's pool is only open memorial day to labor day.

Rest day. Get to be the taxi driver for kids activities tonight.
Run! Just Run!
