Global Running Wednesday Penguins (Read 16 times)

    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!)

      Hope your Wednesday is better than your Tuesday seemed to have been!

        It's cool and cloudy again - only 58 at noon - so I think I'll enjoy my run if I can get out before the showers start. I'll do the usual hour or so.

         

        When did they start "Global Running Day"?  I never heard of it. National Hiking day, yes, but not running day.

          Right? But any excuse to celebrate running. Big grin

            Starting in around 2009, it was National Running Day until a year ago I think. That's when someone got the bright idea that the entire world should participate in our misery. lol
