Beginners and Beyond

Thursday Penguins, just joking around! (Read 7 times)


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.

      Apparently it's National Presidential Joke Day.  Since our presidential race is a complete joke, I'm dropping the mic!!

        Morning!  Woke up with a migraine so couldn't run before working from home today.  12 miles and Pilates later.

         

        Enjoy your chorus practice, Hope!

        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.

          Morning pens!

           

          Excessively humid here today. We have a heat advisory for this afternoon/evening too. I ran 5.5 easy and was pleased with how low I was able to keep my heart rate even with the heat/humidity (74F/74 dew point when I was out at 5:45, not super hot but HUMID as anything). Aerobic progress!

            Good morning Penguins!

             

            Damaris, sorry you missed your run this morning; hope you are well enough for tonight.

             

            Hopesmom, have a great rehearsal.

             

            Lauren, it's fun to measure progress. 

             

            I ran 5.8 very hilly miles this morning!  As soon as I digest my Soyrizo/egg/potato taco, I'm headed for the gym for a weight workout. I started working out with my husband with weights 4 months ago, 2-3x/week. He can't go with me today or tomorrow.  So today will be my first solo foray into the weight room; I'm a little nervous.  All those weightlifting/crossfitting types are just a little intimidating!
