Penguin Power!
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!)
Upcoming Races: Run as One 4M (4/24) * Japan Run 4M (5/8) * Brooklyn Half (5/21)
Margarita time? :-)
I'll be attempting that longish run again today. I'll try to dress more appropriately. I don't have any students today so I have time to do my chinese homework --- whether I'll actually get it done is another story
Jill, good luck on the run!
I will run anything between 0 and 2 tonight.
on my way to badass
Happy Cinco de Mayo Pens!
I got 3 done, may do a couple tonight on the track while menfolk are at soccer practice. Having lunch with a friend so I may need to run a bunch to burn of all the chips and salsa I am going to ingest.
Hi Z!
Good luck on that long run Jill.
Still waiting for the perfect race picture. 5K PR-33:52 , 10K PR 1:11:16, First HM 2:42:28
Singer who runs a smidge
Howdy, Penguins!! I have chorus rehearsal tonight, so I don't know if DH is going to try to do anything for Cinco de Mayo. Margaritas before singing, though, is not a good idea. Maybe quesadillas for dinner? Still waiting on the insurance, but I'm really hoping we can go car shopping this weekend. This is getting annoying.Jill -- Good luck on your longish run!!Zel -- have fun with your 0-2 tonight!!
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.
Stone -- woo-hoo for your 3 done!! Enjoy the lunch, sounds yummy!!
Jill - I hope your LR and homework got done.
Z - are you streaking? Enjoy your short one.
Stonefence - enjoy your double. Running is probably more fun than watching the guys practice.
HopesMom - have fun at practice tonight. Maybe a margarita afterwards?
Another cool gray damp day, though the rain has stopped for now. I'll try to get in a few miles later.
Ginny, no streaking for me for at least a bit. I don't think it was related to the injury, but on the other hand I was reading something about bone architecture breaking down as it builds up, and I wonder if the lack of a RD might have contributed at least something. In any case, with my lighter mileage recently I am starting to feel a lot less heavy-legged. I just wish I didn't get tired after 4 miles.
