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!)
Or at least, half dead. Lack of sleep has me thinking I might make today a rest day. But we'll see how I feel later.
What are the rest of you up to?
Morning! I have Pilates, 6 with 2 at MP, and weights tonight.
Ginny, hope you end up fully in the land of the living.

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.

5 this morning, group tonight.
I ran two days in a row for the first time this year. A streak!
Woohoo! May longer streaks follow!

I could totally qualify for day of the dead!! I am freshly back from vacation, which was awesome! We had dentist appointments, and I have a tremendous amount of work to do ... but we got up at 4AM yesterday and got to bed last night at 1AM. So yeah, I'm dragging!! So glad to "see" you all again!
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.
