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!)
It's National Garlic Day!
RD for me today. I'm going to see the Boston Marathon documentary tonight.
Hmmm, garlic bread.
Just got back from court. I only ran 5 last night (could've done the 7 but knee was still achy from the 18 miler so I quit there). That means I have 10 today. Yay.

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.

D - I hope your knee behaves this evening. Good luck with the 10.
PAD - how was the movie? I love good garlic bread with pasta.
I did 6.6 slow miles this afternoon after the rain stopped. We got misted while walking Ben this morning. It wasn't bad. Worse was wrestling a dead chipmunk out of his mouth, then dragging him reluctantly up the street.
The documentary was really good. Lots of history in the Boston Marathon.
