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!
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 Docket and Ginny, here's the thing. With the advent of my new job, I don't have time to check in here like I used to, and generally there just isn't much conversation going on. I think it's time for me to fade off into the sunset, especially since I'm not running anyway. I might still post on occasion in the Masters forum -- it's a bit more active and there are several folks there who aren't runners, but I think the time for the Penguins has come.
So, in the immortal words of Nickelback, it's hard to say it, time to say it, goodbye. Goodbye.
And hey, if you happen to miss me, pop over to the Masters thread, especially on a Saturday or Sunday. Wishing you both all the best!!

Bummer! And yes, we miss you! If you don't want to continue here, I understand and will check on the masters thread!

Sorry you're leaving, but I do understand. You can always pop in to the regular thread or the Turtle thread as well if you get curious.
