Beginners and Beyond

Thursday Penguins, chasing the sun! (Read 10 times)


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.

      So it turned out that inside our disconnect for our solar panels, the copper blades heat up and melt the plastic, so that's why we keep blowing fuses.  They're coming today to switch out our disconnect for a different model, which shouldn't have the same issues.  That will be nice, because we sure are missing out on a lot of good sun!!  Now I'm searching through all of my pictures to find ones to print for this fall's chorus 35th anniversary party.  Woo-hoo!

        Morning!  I went to OrangeTheory this morning; have Pilates and 4 miles tonight.

         

        Hope, you are searching the sun but I'm hiding from it.

        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.

          Yeah, you're outside your annual 4-day window of outside runnable weather.

            HopesMom - it's insane that they would build a solar panel that can't handle sun. I hope the new disconnect works better.

             

            D - you are a glutton for punishment.  Enjoy your Pilates and miles this afternoon. At least it's a short run.

             

            I'll be doing some miles on the TM after I cool off from our walk.  Another Miami day here.
