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.
Hey y'all,
I have a doctor's appointment this morning (sleep doc), so I'm starting the thread a little early. DH's birthday is July 17, and it's Amazon Prime Day, so I'm doing a little stealth shopping while he's in the shower. I think I will get him a new video game. Woo-hoo!!
Morning! I have Pilates and 7 with 2 @ tempo tonight.
HopesMom, hoping the doctor's appointment goes well. Oh, and the sleuthing.

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.

Happy sleuthing and good luck at the sleep doc, HsM!
Good luck on the tempo, D!
I am at my training and the power is out. The plan is to run the Golden Gate this afternoon. Maybe the fog will burn off.
HM - good luck with the sleep doctor. Apnea?
Z - at least running in the fog is cool.
D - good luck with your tempo run this evening.
Barking Mad To Run
Went out this morning to do 3, but felt pretty good so ended up doing 5.3 miles. Not very fast - it took me exactly 1 hour and 1 second, but nice and steady and got it done. Temp was already in the 70s at 6 a.m., but got lucky for a Texas morning, the dew-point was lower than it usually is, so it did not feel too bad out there at all.

Hope the fog does burn off...don't want you inadvertently running right off the bridge that would be a long drop....
