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!)

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.

Rest day for me. I thought about joining the beer runners this evening, but driving 45 minutes to run for 40, especially when it's so hot, just didn't appeal.
Hi Ginny and D!
I took a fun little run yesterday, except for my side-trek through some stinging nettles and blackberries to try to find a portal for the Ingress phone game I play. Ouch!
Today I will run with the group later on. Zoe has her appointment with the surgeon on Wed. AM for a consult.
Hi! Took today off and went to Pilates this morning. Ran 8 with 3 X 1 Mile @ 10K. First speedwork in forever. Went well. Decided on a 10K out of my ass but I think I paced it almost to the T.
Ginny, hope you enjoyed your rest day.
Z, ouch.
