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!)
It's not running but it's a marathon,
5 fartlek miles this morning felt good. Heading to a Healthfest conference for the Weekend!
Pad - have fun at your conference. Are you a presenter or an observer? Congrats on Marine Corps. That's supposed to be a fun one.
It's pouring rain and expected to continue pouring for a few more hours. Higdon says to do xt today, so I may get on the bike in the basement. Ben will be getting a shorter walk, I think.

Just an observer. Healthfest 2017 Lots of the speakers and demos promoting a plant based diet. A group run Saturday and a 5/10k Sunday.
Afternoon! I am still having some low breathing issues, but I have 11 TM miles tonight, so we will see.
PAD, congrats on getting into MCM!
Ginny, enjoy the bike ride and the walk with Ben.

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.

Crazy darn Texas weather! Near 90 yesterday, the day before that, and also Tuesday. I managed to get my run/walk in all 3 days after work. It was warm, but I was feeling pretty good and did my running segments pretty well. Wednesday I even managed to get in a bit over 5 miles with several hills on the way.
Today is a rest day and then I have a 5K on Saturday and one on Sunday. And wouldn't you know it...the rain is moving in for these days. Saturday should be okay, but on Sunday morning looks like I might get a good soaking.

Sorry about the breathing issues, Damaris. Maybe your hubby can pump your lungs for you...
