Singer who runs a smidge
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!)
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.
Hi all!! I'm back from my parents', and it was kind of a weird holiday. Mom had a stomach bug (or food poisoning, or a gall bladder attack), so we delayed Thanksgiving to Saturday. Thursday was just kinda hanging around, Friday was shopping (and fighting off the crowds), Saturday was a whirlwind of cooking, eating, and Christmas tree decorating. Then we drove home Sunday. My rum cream pie was a hit, but we completely forgot to take the Knock You Naked brownies, so now of course we have to eat them ourselves.
I've given up trying to run before work when it's slap dark and freezing cold, so I'll walk with DH and the dog after work. Today, at least. Tomorrow and Wednesday are practice with two different quartets, Thursday is chorus practice, and then Friday is normal again. Woo-hoo!!

Morning! I had a great time at the Space Coast Marathon and I'm not even sore (took it slow, stopped for beer, vodka, and bacon on the course, even). Anyway, Pilates and weights.
Hope, glad you had a great time.

Hi everyone! Had a good long weekend. Daughter made it back to school safely. Not ready to go to work though!
Tough luck on the brownies. If you need help you can send them to me.
Gym & spin day.
HopesMom - sounds like a busy week for you. Good luck getting some walking or running in. Can you do any at lunchtime?
D - I'm glad you had fun at the race. Enjoy your 'rest' day.
Z - I'm glad you had a fun weekend. Only one more week;-) are you getting excited?
PAD - I hope you enjoyed your rest day. You earned it.
AFM: I set out to do a medium run from town to home, extended it a bit in town, then at the end, added 2.5 more for a total of 12.4. I was feeling pretty good. Maybe I do better on long runs when I don't have time to psyche myself out beforehand.
