Return To Racing
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!)
Happy National Coffee Day. Aldi's French Roast for me.
Morning. I don't drink coffee, unless I am asleep. Ha.
I had Pilates yesterday and court all day. 10 and Pilates today.

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!! Yesterday's run, rescheduled for this morning, was called on account of rain. Ah well. I get my coffee via mail-order from a little hole-in-the-wall vegetarian restaurant in Athens, GA. Not that I'm picky or anything! It's really really good coffee, though!
Chorus rehearsal tonight, woo-hoo!! I'm ready to see some sunshine again, but they say that won't happen until Saturday.
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.
We've got rain here too. I'm sipping on my pot of coffee - just plain Folger's Columbian - but it's not working to wake me up.
HM - enjoy rehearsal tonight. I hope you can run tomorrow, even I fit isn't sunny.
Damaris - have fun at Pilates. I hope you can do your 10 outside.
I don't know if I'll run today or not. Maybe 6. Or maybe just yoga.
96F still so no, it will be the TM.
Penguin Power!
All moved in . Not unpacked by any means but at least our stuff is all here. Professional movers are the way to go!
Upcoming Races: Run as One 4M (4/24) * Japan Run 4M (5/8) * Brooklyn Half (5/21)
I took time off for the Thanksgiving holidays and never got back out there. First run today ... aaaaand now I'm a penguin. Again.
The adventure continues. Three waddlesome miles.
Welcome back.
Congrats, Jill. Don't forget to tell hubby that you moved.
Hi Buelligan! Some of us stay penguins.
