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!)
I ended up with a nice 7.6 mile outdoor run yesterday. After the storms had passed it cooled off. I doubt I'll be as lucky today. The DP is 67, so today's feels like is going up to 95 or so. That's why I have a TM.

But the important part, Ginny, did you find anything at Gander Mountain? I admit I've never actually been inside one of those, although they built one in my town a couple of years ago. Wondering what it's going to be now ...
Chorus rehearsal tonight!
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.
Former Bad Ass
Morning! In court today after a 3 week no court sting (Judge on vacation until now). Pilates, Orange Theory and 5-6 miles total tonight.
Damaris
Penguin Power!
Docket rocket what kind of treadmill do you have? I'm thinking of buying one for post baby exercise/to be able to run again more easily.
Upcoming Races: Run as One 4M (4/24) * Japan Run 4M (5/8) * Brooklyn Half (5/21)
D - I hope court went well.
Jill - I have a Nordic Track. It's huge, but I like it. My previous one was also NT.
HM - I didn't buy anything. Jim bought some pants. Quality has gone down a lot in recent years, especially recently, so I'm not surprised they are going out of business. Jim bought a gun there once and got ammo there when it was scarce all over, but otherwise we didn't go all that often. We both bought hiking shoes there in the past (Merrill moabs). It was convenient, since we don't have any decent hiking type outdoor stores nearby.
I hope your rehearsal went well. How is your new quartet going?
I ended up doing 13 miles on the TM today. We're going out of town Sunday, so I decided to get a long run done sooner rather than later. That's the longest run I've done indoors in a long time.
