Singer who runs a smidge
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!)
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.
I've got two days of work this week, then I'm off on vacation for the rest of June. Lots to do between now and Wednesday!
Very sad. All my friends are safe but some friends of friends are missing/unaccounted for.
I have 6 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.

Happy Monday, everyone. I've been AWOL for a while and not running enough to even talk about. I did get up this morning and slog 2 miles.
Running for TJ because he can't.
Welcome back!!
Hello Penguins!
Very sad about Orlando.
Welcome back, Robert.
I haven't been doing a lot of running in the last couple of weeks. I've been doing a lot more cross training. Yoga, free weights, walking. Today I tried a spin class. I was spinning away, thinking how pointless it was for all these people to be in this room cycling nowhere. Then I realized it's not much more pointless than if I had instead done my planned 6-mile run in a loop around my house. What's the point in that? Vanity of vanities...all is vanity.
