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." 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!)

Except for the New England ass-hats winning in the last seconds of the game (other than that, it was a pretty great game, right down to the wire), it was a "beautiful" weekend for me, with a 5K done on Saturday - http://www.runningahead.com/groups/BF_and_Beyond/forum/e664282b1c0b4587b7658e043ba06b3b/resume#focus - and a VERY hilly 7K done on Sunday - http://www.runningahead.com/groups/BF_and_Beyond/forum/6a13f632e81a416986746f833774f547/resume#focus .   Kinda rainy weather on Saturday, and foggy weather on Sunday, but then Sunday afternoon became very nice with lots of sun and 62 degrees.

Today, San Antonio is back to windy and chilly weather - 39 degrees right now - with a high today of only 53.  I wish Mother Nature would make up her freakin' mind about whether we are going to be cold or warm!  This back-and-forth stuff is really getting old.  Lots of people in my area with coughs, sniffles, flu, etc.  Thankfully, I am not one of them.   Today is a rest day for me and then tomorrow back at it with my run/walks.

Hey all, baby is here at 5 lbs 1 oz by C-section.  I post a pic later when I'm "allowed". My son is kind of weird like that, so he wants to be the first to post pics. Baby and momma are doing good, although they will both be staying in the hospital for a little while.

I'm planning a interval run after coffee and PM. I'll be heading over to check on my FIL tomorrow. He went for a second opinion on his cancer, had some blood work and a CT done, and tomorrow is more blood work and for an appointment for the oncologist to tell him results on the film.

Zel, I like the shoes.

I hope every one is doing well.

SRD but doing squat therapy to prevent ITB bullcrap. My goal is to eventually build up to being able to do ONE  REAL pistol squat but first I'm supposed to be able to do 20 full body squats with my feet together. I'm not even close.  BLAH.

Scotty - love the picture.  Enjoy your rest day.

Kathleen, Jack and Tracy - have a good rest day.

SF - Yikes, I hope you don't actually get that much snow.  Stay safe.

Z - enjoy your 8 later, and your nice new shoes.  Are they stability or neutral?

Mitch -Congratulations on the baby.   I hope they have some good news for your FIL  Good luck with the intervals.

Today is supposed to be XT day, but company is here, so it may not happen.

 

Duhhh...I am a day ahead of myself, lol.  Title corrected.

Tee hee. 

H4L - Congratulations. Doesn't get any better than new grand babies!

Good morning Penguins!

Kathleen, Scotty, Jack, Traci, Ginny, Lauren and Damaris - enjoy the running rest day.  I will join you!

Let's see, who does that leave who's actually running today?  Zel, Mitch, SF, enjoy the run!
