Former Bad Ass
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!)

Afternoon! Woke up with either asthma or sick, and my cough is annoying (breathing is lower but OK otherwise). Ran 8 on the semi broken TM. More miles after Pilates.
Hi, D! Hope you feel better.
I am at my conference. I had a good time yesterday at my conference and Disneyland and still got in 4 miles. No Disney today but more conference time so the plan is for a 4 mile runch.
D - I hope you're not coming down with anything. Feel better.
Z - I hope you have a good conference. Nice that you can find time to run.
I finally got to run again, though only for 2.5 miles, half of it in the rain. I had no problem walking yesterday or today, but running hurt so I was glad it was just a short one. No pain afterwards, so I'm not worried.
Ginny, that's great progress.
I ran 4 at lunch.
4 this morning.
I hit the lottery and got into the Marine Corps Marathon! #runwiththemarines
Congrats, PAD!
With this thread title, whatever penguin checks in the latest in the day "wins" the dailies for today.
