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!)

You wouldn't think, after working a grand total of two days this week, that I'd be tired.  But I'm so ready for the long weekend!!  Our garden is pathetic, so I want to get in and clean it out a bit.  We planted a new Japanese maple, and the deer have been munching it, so I want to spray it with Deer-Out.  I want to go for a little bike ride, if my knee will allow -- hiking all over the southwest tweaked it a bit.  And hey, video games!!  So that's my ambitious weekend!!  How about you?

4 this morning for me and a 5k tomorrow.

Working Sat-Mon, 100 degrees, 2 fireworks shows, 30k people it's going to be a long weekend!

 

Firecracker 5K PAD?

No the DRC Independence 5K And 10K. Firecracker is Monday. Sly's running it I think.
