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.
Not necessarily the weather, which is unseasonably warm again. When the low hits 24 on Friday, I expect a lot of stuff will get killed off. But I will be a gorgeous Penguin (inasmuch as that's possible) because I have a haircut today!! And quartet rehearsal, so woo-hoo!

If you guys are warm, imagine us. I did 0.70 at PT and have Pilates and 5 miles tonight.

HM - are you changing your style or just neatening up the ends? Enjoy your gorgeousness.
D - will you be able to run the 5 non-stop or is it still walk/run?
AFM: I have 5 this afternoon. If we can get out before the rain, I hope to go to the park for a change of scene.
I am still run/walking but every day I am adding one minute to the intervals. So, today should be 7:1. Once I get to 10:1 (Sunday, most likely), I'll probably switch to 1 mile run, 1 minute walk and then work from there. Should be soon (like next week or the week after). I could do it now, but so far, the run/walks have helped my knee get better while running, so I'll keep them for another week or so.
Have a nice 5.
And quartet rehearsal, so woo-hoo!
Quartet rehearsal? I'm intrigued.
Had a wonderful day picking up trash warming up for my run at the riverwalk. Only found two diapers.
I have to wonder how successful a kid is going to be raised by a parent who throws diapers away in a public park. There are trash cans all over the place, too.
Diapers. Jesus.
I'm a Sweet Adeline. Neither my quartet nor chorus is great, but we're not bad, and we have a lot of fun!
